Change of result

I recently reported on Brighton 1's game against Hastings 2 and gave the result as 3-2 to the Brighton team. After the match it was discovered that Hastings had accidentally fielded an ineligible player in their team. As a result Brighton's win has now been changed to the score of 3.5 to 1.5.

Open on Saturday 20th but ....

We are closed all Christmas week
and open again the evening of New Year's Day.

Narrow win for Brighton 1 against Hastings 2

Last Thursday our first team was involved in a close match against a resolute Hastings second team. Four of the games ended up as draws and it was left to Simon Wilks to gain the all important win against a very experienced opponent. Like our last match against Lewes we scraped a 3-2 win. This means that we have won our first three matches, but it would appear that we must generally play better than this, if we are to stand a chance of retaining our title.

Christmas

We are closed on Christmas Day and Saturday 27th. We are open on New Year's Day, although anyone at a loose end may well be at Hastings instead.

Technically brilliant!

As most of you will know by now Sina Krause won her title match in October to become the Women's National Chessboxing Champion. Known in the ring as Zena the Technician, Sina joined us in the summer for the chess practice. You can hear her talking about the other side of things on Saturday Live on 15th November - listen from 37 to 43 minutes to hear the chessboxing piece. We are enormously proud to have her as one of only three women we currently have in the club. For more see LONDON CHESSBOXING.
