Back to twice a week chess

For the first time since April Lichfield Chess Club members will next week have the opportunity to attend twice a week until the Christmas break.

On Monday , 1st September the Kings Head in Bird St will be open for social chess and on Thursday, 4th September the Guildroom at the Bore St Guildhall will be the venue for one of the season’s three major trophy winning events, the Quickplay. This is a time handicapped event which gives weaker players the chance to shine because they will have much more time to make their moves.

There are 28 entries so far and it is not too late for one of the numerous newcomers to enter and if they feel that is a step too far for the moment there will also be social chess in the spacious Guildroom. The 4th will be the first chance for up to 18 or so newcomers to visit. Fo more information on the Quickplay contact David Short, Tel 01543 304212 email, davidmshort42@gmail.com. Tea,coffee or soft drink will be available to members a nd newcomers free of charge.
