We had another great weekend
of chess at the final weekend of the 4NCL
National Chess League at the Puma Daventry Court
hotel. Everyone chipped in for the team and
nobody left without scoring. So well done to our
juniors, and also to the greybeards who kept up
gamely, albeit with some wheezing and shortage
of breath (and who also chauffeured the juniors
around, let’s not forget!)
After winning all three of
our matches over the weekend we pulled ourselves
up to mid-table respectability with five wins
and two losses out of seven matches played (we
missed two weekends because of player
shortages), a much better result than our
tireless captain David feared at one stage. So
we face next season in good heart. If you would
like to play in some of the matches next season
please let David or me know.
