Horsham Chess Club

I managed to overcome the assembled club members 12-7 in the annual simul last night, there was certainly plenty of high-quality opposition to keep me worried...

The club was proud to award Dick Newman with honorary membership at the AGM, and presented him with a framed certificate to record the achievement...

Thanks to all who attended last night's AGM, which finished in record time to the delight of most...

Horsham Junior Chess Club returns after the summer break on Tuesday 9th September at the usual time of 6:25pm. Hope to see you all raring to go...

See you all next Tuesday at 7.30pm for the AGM and to celebrate another first rate season...

John Cannon: "After reading in the West Sussex County Times that Amy started playing chess when she was six, I chanced upon this photo of our two daughters in 1960 (Black appears to have captured one of her own pawns, when short of time!)."

Bernie shared this lovely picture she took of the presentations..

The British Championship finished today after 11 rounds, and Amy's excellent performance saw her take the British and English Womens Champion titles, as well as the U18 British Girls Champion title too...

Horsham 2 and Horsham 4 both won cups for winning their respective divisions this seasons - congratulations to both!

We are going to extend the season by an extra week - so 1 July will be the last week after all...there are still games to be had so enjoy :)
