Emsworth Chess Club
Chess at Emsworth is getting more popular. 20 players + 3 parents last night. We welcomed Charlie Hylaridef (14) visiting from the Delft chess club (De Delftsche SchaakClub) . And first time attendee Simon Roberts: ex-Portsmouth chess club.

Nice to see the Emsworth chess club busy ... we have quite a few new members.

Paul was our D'Artagnan drawing two games. Ed had a stone cold draw against GM Gawain Jones but got suckered into a knight and rook mating net. I had good positions in all three games which were interesting but blundered.
Paul Northcott drew both games he played - with FIDE Master Harry Grieve and International Master Nigel Povah.
An event with 125 boards stretching right down the high street. Congratulations Guildford Chess Club on staging such a great event.
All the masters taking part...

Ex-Emsworth Chess Club player Paul Cooper was assisting IM Matthew Wadsworth. Unfortunately, I only saw that after the event.
Somehow we missed each other, but it was busy!

Waiting for the chess to start...
Beautiful stain glass windows...
David at the board...
Feeling happy after winning outright the amateur section of the Golder's Green rapidplay chess.
