Blitz, Rapid, Fischer Random. Casablanca Chess. Chessboxing. Chess training sessions (openings / endgames). Guest speakers. Friendly matches. If there's enough people willing to take part then we can look to do it. Suggestions can be made through club Whatsapp group or speak to David , Roger, Tony or Andrew.

5 minute blitz event - 17 Jun 2025

Andrew "The Pawnslayer" organised a friendly internal 5 min blitz event. 17 club members joined in the 7-round Swiss tournament.

There were a few "giant-killing" results early on but as the tournament progressed the over-arching theme was to cheer on whoever was playing against Edo. Despite the hostilities, Edo came away triumphant with an emphatic 7 out of 7. Nick came second with an impressive 5.5. Joint third went to Roger ,David and 2 of the Andrew's.
