The sun may or may not shine, but that is something which we cannot control. However, whatever the London weather will throw at us, you are guaranteed a great time at ChessFest 2024. All events are free for all! Just bring sun cream, an umbrella, skis and leave the rest to us.

In a nail biting finish to the season, Surbiton B drew with Kingston B last night, thus winning Thames Valley Division 2 by 2 board points. This means promotion, which is just as well as Surbiton A will be demoted from Division 1. “Mission accomplished” said Captain Nick Faulks.

Playing Kingston 2 away, Surbiton 1 won 2-5. Sadly, this doesn’t change much in Surrey Division 2. Ashtead 1 are still the winners and are due promotion, and Surbiton 1 have to be content with 2nd place and staying in this division next season. #Chess #Surrey

With a 5.5-2.5 victory over Wimbledon last night, Epsom Chess Club became 𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐌𝐏𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐒 𝐎𝐅 𝐒𝐔𝐑𝐑𝐄𝐘 for the first time in our history! 80-year-old Peter Lee (pictured), who returned to competitive chess with Epsom this year, recorded the win that took us over the line.

In Surrey’s Beaumont Cup, Surbiton took on Ashtead away. It was close, but we lost 4-3. Ashtead’s winning streak (in this division) now stands at 5 matches and they are best placed to gain promotion to the Surrey Trophy next year. #Surrey #Chess

On Leap Day, Surbiton A played Wimbledon A away. Unfortunately, a lot of our players were unavailable, but we still fielded a team. In the end we lost, but it wasn’t as one-sided as expected. Several drew against higher rated opponents. #Chess

Surbiton beat TV1 leaders Hammersmith 4-2! They were less strong than usual on boards 5-6 (because of playing away?), but otherwise were a strong side. Congratulations to Chris Briscoe for his amazing win on board 1! #Chess
