Updated news and Club Championship

I have been asked this week by club members if there is any news at Poole and with the local chess leagues so I thought it was opportune to provide an update.

As we all know, things have not changed much, so its a status quo I am afraid, for all over the board chess events  that remain suspended for the time being until it is safe to return.

There is ongoing online chess and there has been a Poole club established on lichess, (please contact for David Fuller for details). To date 10 members have signed up but no events have started yet.

Ringwood club have set up online weekly games, so if you are interested please look at their site or www.dorset chess for details.

2020 Club Membership

I have posted below the pairings and latest status of the club championship which started in February but came to a grinding halt as a result of the virus and it does seem a long time ago.

If you wish to play your opponent online please feel free to do so with the same rules that apply. Both parties need to agree to play online and it can be played on either lichess or chess.com.

Frankly, it is unlikely that any one section can be completed until the lockdown is over and all is safe. However, we encourage you to play the games if at all possible and any feedback please let me or Graham know – we will return to normal life soon!
