Competition Chess
Our Players
We're not the strongest team in the league (yet!) - far from it:
-
Our mission is to make chess accessible to all regardless of strength.
-
Most of our players have never played a competitive game before this year.
-
Our average age is much lower than any other club in the league, although many of our players are retired
-
We have significantly more female players than any other club in the league
-
We have a significant number of junior players who are thriving despite having an autism spectrum disorder
-
We have only been going for a year and we already have 3 teams entered in the league for the 24/25 season
So how are players getting on? Most of these are provisional (P) as only a few have played sufficient graded games:
