A warm welcome to knightworm78 and we hope you are going to join our happy group.
Initially started with 3 people our membership has fluctuated during our 11 years existence. Currently standing at 28.
We first entered the Standard Chess League for Season 8 and then in Season 11 we finished as CHAMPIONS of Division 5 gaining promotion and enabling us to enter a second team.
The A team finished CHAMPIONS of Division 3 in Season 13 gaining promotion to Division 2.
Our B team finished as CHAMPIONS of Division 4 in Season 14 which has allowed us to enter a C team in Season 15.
Standard Chess League Matches are played on 5 Boards.
We have two teams who are currently playing in Season 11 of the 960 Chess League. Our A team are in Division 2 and the B team in Division 3. The teams in 960 are contested by 4 Board teams.
We were crowned CHAMPIONS of Season XIV in the Stanley Random Chess League. Teams consisted of 3 boards and our squad of players are looking forward to defending the title in Season XV.
Friendly games have also been a feature for our members and as we try to keep the ratings as near as possible to our opponents ratings this leads to many close contests.
We also run Invitational Tournaments for players rated Under 1100 so all rating strengths are catered for.
Recently we have completed an Intra-knightworm78 competition just for our members. It was both an individual event , but mainly a 3 a side team battle with teams selected according to the latest ratings to make for close encounters.
We have created a series of “Other Variant Challenges“ against The Old Tewkers. So far we have played LaoTzu , Makruk , Shatranj and Racing Kings. We have just finished a 5 Board Atomic960 Challenge which finished with honours even in a 5 all draw.
However throughout all the competitions we still play for the enjoyment and comerardery.
So please come and join us.
Go knightworm78.
