Tonight, Epsom will host two Surrey League matches as we take on Surbiton in the Lauder Trophy quarter-final and Chessington in the Stoneleigh Trophy. Alongside these fixtures, we will host Club Championship games and rated friendlies in the 'Mike Wickham Trophy'.

The club's Events Manager, Reiko Keen, has stepped down from her role on the Epsom C.C. 'Supreme Committee'. We would like to thank her for all her hard work and will appoint a suitable replacement in due course.

With some of our top juniors having 'graduated' to our adult club over the summer, we are now back to having over 100 pupils in our Thursday junior club. Epsom C.C. is committed to doing things the right way - nurturing new talent and creating a hub for female chess to grow too.

Epsom recorded its biggest win of the modern era with a 9-1 demolition of Coulsdon in the Alexander (Surrey) Cup last night. In reality however, there were quite a few mismatches. We must now face Wimbledon away in the semi-final - date to be confirmed.

Tremendous. Well done @SPTWchess!

Epsom host Coulsdon tonight over 10 boards in the Alexander (Surrey) Cup quarter-final. We are probably slight favourites, but came unstuck against our opponents at the same stage last season. Will we exact revenge or suffer the same fate. 7.30pm start at The Fellowship.

WFM Shivika Rohilla won the 8th Epsom Rapidplay with a perfect 6/6 score, beating both IM Graeme Buckley and FM Jon Ady, and taking home £150. Epsom junior Chris Lin put in an excellent performance to take the final step on the podium. Leon Kwiatkowski won the U-1200 section.

A bit of a sorry night for Epsom 4 in the Centenary Trophy as they went down 4½-1½. Amusingly, Surbiton's team contained an ex-Epsom player, a current Epsom Junior Chess Club player and a Kingston senior figure!

CM Reegan Palmer once again showed his prowess at tonight's Epsom October Blitz with a 100% score. FM Peter Lee and 'El Presidente' Marcus Gosling tied for second place a couple of points back.

Don't forget to enter tonight's Epsom Blitz event, starting promptly at 7.30pm. 11 rounds of 3|2.

Epsom member (and chess streamer) Pietro Silke Balerna managed to defeat the legendary Judit Polgár in a simul in Budapest. A result for the ages! chess.com/news/view/judit-po…

Looking for a new chess club this season? Look no further than Epsom. ♟️

In the Surrey Introductory League, Epsom 'A' defeated Epsom 'B' 2-1. Wins for Maalav Chhaya, George Read and club treasurer Lucy Emery.

Congratulations, John!

Epsom member and increasingly famous chess streamer Pietro Silke Balerna (PietroCheckmate) will be facing the one and only Judit Polgár this afternoon in an OTB simul. What an amazing privilege! youtube.com/live/Xw5e88Zsg3A Come on Pietro, sign her for the Surrey League!

We have just learnt, through a post on the SCCA website, that Wallington Chess Club is closing its doors. This is terribly sad news and we have just reached out to them to see if we can help in some way. It's never nice to see another club go bust, especially a Surrey League one.

Epsom squeaked through to the Lauder Trophy quarter-finals with a narrow 3½-2½ away win over Dorking in a repeat of last year's final. There were wins for Trevor Hedges and debutant Reegan Palmer, who set the bar high for future appearances with a discovered king checkmate! 😮

The opening Minor Trophy match last night between Epsom 5 and Epsom 6 ended in an honourable draw. Wins for Baker and Subramoniam cancelled out by victories for Chhaya and Read.
