I am planning to organise a blitz tournament for those interested on Thursday March 8th. Good practice for Blackpool Chess Congress at the weekend.
Monday Feb 27th will be the last time chess is on a Monday. From March 7th, it will be on Thursdays.
We had a couple of new people down on Monday. So, its a good time for anyone else thinking about joining to come down now ... (before they get too good! )
