No match for the D team last night in the Main League (we had a bye due to an odd number of teams in the Division) but great wins for the rest of the club:
A team beat University A 3-2
B team beat @ChessAlwoodley A 3-2
C team beat Alwoodley D 3.5-1.5
Well done everyone!
Draws for the A & C teams, and wins for the B and D teams (both by 3-2) - great results!

Wins for the Mini League (3-2) and the Rapid 1 (3.5-2.5) teams, but an unfortunate whitewash defeat for Rapid 2.
The Mini League victory was significantly influenced by a brilliant knight sacrifice by John G to win his opponent's queen. Excellent stuff!
Mini League and Rapid play tonight!
In the Mini League we visit Leeds CC
In the Rapid, team 1 visit @RoseForgroveCC and team 2 host @ChessAlwoodley
Good luck, everyone!

(K)nights are drawing in, Christmas chocolates are in the shops and it's the first matches of the league season tonight.
We have 2 local derbies:

Game on (and save me the mini Bountys!)
A new club has joined the Leeds league!
Turn up on Wednesdays at The Tavern if you're on that side of Leeds and looking to play.

All welcome, whatever your playing strength and experience.
Hello all, hope you enjoyed the summer and are enjoying this autumnal rain.

Some of these are insane.

Congratulation to Paul who came back from 2 pawns down in his game to win it, and wins the Norman Ellis competition with a score of 4.5 out of 5! 🏆
Final round of the Ken Appleby (<1700) and Norman Ellis (Open) individual tournaments tonight.
With club captain Paul currently joint top of the Ellis standings on 3.5 out of 4, there's a strong chance for another trophy for a Boston Spa player!
Good luck everyone!
Sadly having lost the toss and being outgraded on every board, our cup run ends with a 2-1 defeat.
Good luck to the University team in the final!
