East Grinstead Chess Club continues to thrive with membership steadily growing.

Chris took on playing simultaneously 13 boards and won most on a very enjoyable evening. Chris also conducted a successful training evening which was open to non club members. In addition we also ran several 10 min tournaments throughout the season. Our Internal Rapid Play attracted 17 members and. Congratulations to Graham Robertson who won the competition.
