On Saturday the 29 February there will be a ‘doubles’ chess competition, open to anyone attending a Welsh secondary school. (Doubles is a hugely popular, well-known variant of chess where pieces taken on one board are passed over to another. It is described in detail here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bughouse_chess and can even be played on chess.com). The competition should provide a fun afternoon of chess. Short time controls will be used, and for each round players will get a random partner and opposition. Over the course of the afternoon, the various wins and losses should create an individual winner. The games will be played at Bishop Hedley High School in Merthyr Tydfil on Saturday 29 February, from 2:30 p.m. until 5:30 p.m (the full address is Bishop Hedley High School, Penydarren, Merthyr Tydfil, CF47 9AN). There is no need to register for this event. However, it would be helpful if those that wish to attend send an e-mail to Richard Stevenson, who can be contacted at: welshsecondarychess@gmail.com A vacancy has suddenly occurred for a place in an Over 65 team to play in the World Seniors Team Championships in Prague between 5th-15th March.

The annual West Wales Chess League Rapidplay event began in 1976 and was held this year at Upper Killay Recreational Hall as a 5 round swiss with each player having 30 minutes on the clock (no increments). The event clashed with the first weekend of the 6 nations rugby, which resulted in a few less players than expected. 31 players attended on the day, including 4 players from Gwent and 8 from East Glamorgan. Jason Garcia & Bill Hewitt shared 1st place on 4.5/5, sharing the AO Jones trophy. 3rd = were Moss McCarthy & Chris Boyd on 4/5. Last years winner Ian Jones was among those on 3.5/5. There were grading prizes at U-1900, U-1650 & U-1400 as well as junior prizes. Some prizes were shared so in all, 17 players won a prize! Continue reading A O Jones Rapidplay Results (1/2/20) |
