Home win against Dieppe

Our twelfth match against Dieppe resulted in another home win for Brighton against some stiff opposition, especially at the top where Steve Newman faced IM Kamran Shirazi for a closely fought game. Afterwards in-depth analysis, refreshments and chat were enjoyed as we renewed our acquaintance with L'Echiquier Dieppois.

The annual fixtures began in 2007 when we travelled to Dieppe. The 'score' now stands at Brighton 6 Dieppe 5 with one draw. A big thank you to all those who took part to keep this tradition going and ensure we had an opponent for every one of our French visitors, including Anthony who acted as reserve and was invaluable as help.
