A fine result for the 4th team recently - a draw against E. Grinstead 1 (current division 2 leaders) in spite of an average 14 point grading disadvantage. In particular, our boards 1 and 2 (Brian Izzard and Hussaini Ndakwo) both drew against opponents graded 30 points higher.

Free University Brighton
From: contact@freeuniversitybrighton.orgAli thinks she can get some equipment together if anyone's interested in doing this.
Hi Sue,
I got your details from the Brighton Chess Club website. I've set up a free, community-led education initiative in Brighton that aims to make learning more accessible to all by providing free education events. Someone thought it would be a good idea to do a learn to play chess event and so I was wondering if your club could provide a tutor. I can't pay because everything has to be free but I could publicise the club on the Free Uni website and it may attract new members. I can find a suitable venue.
Hoping you can help.
Thanks and best regards,
Ali Ghanimi

Theft at the club
It appears Oli's money was taken out of his wallet on Saturday while other people still in the room were engrossed in their game/s. This has never happened before so it is a sad turn of events. We will all have to be more aware of where we leave our possessions in future.
