Horsham Chess Club

It was great to see the return of a former member after many years , former third team captain Danny Holloway. And what nudged him back?

A great piece in the church magazine, authored by chairman John Cannon

The season proper got under way with the first round of the Quickplay KO. Some excellent chess all round..and I managed to get some pics!

Last night I presented the junior trophy to a worthy new winner...

Just a reminder that the junior club returns for the new season this coming Tuesday 10th September...

Here is the full list of the scores including all the games in the Mid Sussex League Divisions 1- 3 , MSL Knockout and Paul Watson and MacArthur Cup.

Congratulations to Matt Forster for scoring 90% against the toughest of opponents!

Horsham 1 finished the season with a good win against Brighton 1. Depending on the result of Hastings 1 against Worthing 1, Horsham 1 will either end up in second or third.

Gavin Lock scored a fairly quick win in a sharp line of the Modern Benoni. His opponent made a serious error in a tricky position and resigned at once following Gavin's reply.

The game between Phil Stimpson and Paul Selby saw Phil launch a sharp attack, against which Paul was unable to defend. Horsham went two up with this game.
