As from this Friday there is, in addition to the usual junior chess club running from 6:30-7:30pm the opportunity for the older/stronger players to stay on after 7:30pm.

Chris Dunn will be organising competitive ECF Graded games at the time control of 25 minutes + 5 second increments.

The games will last therefore a maximum of one hour but may finish sooner.

This is an opportunity to gain experience of longer play against other members including adult players (you may even get a chance to beat me) and to obtain or extend your English Chess Federation Rating. PS parents can also play in these games if they dare !

So at 7:30pm we will close the connecting partition between meeting rooms 2 & 3 and Chris Dunn will announce the games to be played that evening.

It is imperative that parents email Chris by Thursday if they want to play in these later games that will take place between 7:30pm – 9:00pm.

For the more experienced players it is ok to play in just this later session but please do let Chris know – his email address is Chris Dunn.

We look forward to seeing everyone on Friday for the usual club meeting at 6:30pm for which nothing changes – just turn up and Gill will pair you for the usual games.
