New Round 2 league tables attached.  All games need to be played by Monday 31st March at the latest.

Please note that going forward all results from the box league games should now be forwarded to the new email address chichesterchess.box@gmail.com that I ( Steve) have created (this will help to prevent results being lost in my normal inbox!).  Please continue to copy Jamie Wilson in for grading purposes.

Chrismas Buzzer Tournament

The Christmas buzzer tournament was held on Monday 16 December.

19 players joined the fun (or mayhem) as we moved to the buzzer tempo.

Winners this year were:

Santa – Andrew on tie break from Tom in a tough top group

Rudolph – Bill just squeezing past last years Mrs Claus!

The Elves – Paul winning a very tight group

The Grinch – Steve dominating the group

The North Pole – Julius after a madcap bullet playoff

Mike and Chris won the lucky dip prizes, thanks Ilona for drawing that (except throwing my tag away!)

Paul provided the buzzer, an improved version from last year we all thought!

Christmas Buzzer Tournament

For a bit of fun we are planning on a second ‘Buzzer Blitz’ Christmas tournament on Monday 16 December.

The buzzer is set to an interval and YOU MUST move exactly on the buzzer – or you lose!

Last year’s event was a lot of fun, so we are trying again.

Prizes for all groups!!

PLEASE ARRIVE NO LATER THAN 7:15 AS THERE IS A BIT OF ADMIN AND A TIGHT SCHEDULE.
