Club News at Christmas 2018

At Christmas:-

Seals are 4th out of 9 teams in Division 2 with 13.5 points, only 1.5 points behind the Division leaders, Lowestoft A.

Crabs are comfortably top of Division 3 with 20 points, 3.5 points ahead of second placed Fakenham Oddfellows.

Shrimps are 9th out of 10 teams in Division 3, but have only played 4 games whereas others have played up to 8 games already. So they have games in hand to climb higher in the table.

In the Rapidplay Handicap Cup  against Wymondham the score was 4-4 however we just lost out on handicap.

In the Williamson Cup Quarter Finals we were beaten by a strong Fakenham team. We now move to the Plate competition where we have been drawn at home against Kings Lynn.

Best wishes to all for Christmas and the New Year

 

 

 

Amy Little wins u-11 Title at Midlands Gigafinal

From Peter Hodkinson…

On Sunday 8th July 2018, Amy Little (grade 118) won the Solihull (Birmingham) Gigafinal of the UK Chess Challenge to become Midlands girls u11 champion. Amy went clear of the field of 24 by winning her first 5 games and needed only to agree a draw in round 6 to be a clear winner.

The Southern Gigafinal in Twickenham a week earlier was a much closer affair with 4 girls finishing with 5 out of 6. Alisha Vyas (grade 117) won the title on a tie-break.

The Northern Gigafinal takes place on Sunday (15th July 2018) in Manchester.

This national schools event attracted over 40,000 entries of all school ages. It is the biggest chess tournament in the World.

The UK Grand Finals will be held in Peterborough.

Christmas Rapidplay Event

We will have a club Christmas event next Friday (16th) at the Morley Club. We will divide up into two about equal teams, and then play a double round rapidplay match, so that everyone will play two games against different opponents of about the same strength. We will start at about 8pm and finish shortly after 9pm.

Please let me know if you can (or can’t) attend and that will help for sorting out the teams in advance.
