Horsham Chess Club

Those of you who were at the last HJCC of the term last Tuesday will have heard the winners, for those who have not here are the top 5...

I found myself at the British museum yesterday and couldnt resist coming away with this Lewis piece - a bishop in case you were wondering.

The original set is 12th century and almost certainly made in Norway. Magnus Carlsen is a more recent Norwegian export..

Matthew Forster wins the Knight cup with a very impressive 7/7. He also won the best performance in the entire league so dont feel too depressed for not keeping up with him.

Full results are below in the format - Name, score, played , %

We may be taking a short break to improve our game but meanwhile Horsham players continue to play some great chess.

Matthew Forster is out in Serbia representing England with fellow Horsham junior Amy Hoare.

Congratulations to Mike Forster for winning the Knockout. After an initial draw with Anthony Higgs he was successful at the second attempt and picks up the Knockout trophy. Mike won the Knockout plate last year so he is building up an excellent track record in this event!

No, this is not a spoof!
