Semester 1 Success

Thank you to everyone who has participated in the chess club this semester and helped us to obtain a 100% winning record. Fantastic!

We may be needing help during re-fresher's week (early February) with the giant chess board/ setting up a stall/ giving out leaflets etc. - if you would like to help then let one of the committee know.

Merry Christmas, happy new year and good luck with the exams!

Bath Uni wins 6th Match in a Row!

Newcomer Nick Triantafilidis won his first game for the team and thanks also to Ankit Bharadia for taking part on board 6.

Wins also for Chris Dorrington, James Jackson, Chris Lamming and Paul Dennis left the match with a convincing 5-1 score - well done everyone!

Bath Uni wins first match of the season

A convincing win for Bath was a great way to start the new season in the Bristol and District Chess League. Wins for Chris Dorrington, James Jackson and Paul Dennis secured the win, with a default point for Bath on board 6. Andy Bate and Xiu-Huan Yap both held on to draw on boards 4 and 3 respectively with Xiu-Huan causing some controversial debate as to the FIDE drawing rules over a three fold repetition. Well done all! Bath Uni 5 - Cabot 1.

Following a brilliant first result of the season we have continued our excellent form by completing two 6-0 demolitions of Harambee A and Keynsham B respectively. More recently we have played tense games against Yate A and Downend C which both finished 4-2 in Bath's favour.

*There is an ongoing controversy in one match due to an issue with the clocks - This matter has been handed over to the League Committee and hence the result of this particular game may be changed.
