New internal tournament is a big hit

Lichfield Chess Club’s management team are delighted with the success of a new internal tournament introduced and run by club chairman David Fone

The Swiss tournament, which involves members playing a round each month throughout the season, has attracted 26 players, just over half the club membership.

Leaders after two rounds are the favourite, Mircea Mesesan, organiser David Fone, Peter Rose, Albert Chacko and John Fryer, all on two points.
