The club has been in existence since 1949. We have members with a wide range of abilities, from ungraded to 2200+ ECF (see our gradings), and we once had a world champion playing for us. Unfortunately, R Fulford was world champion at croquet! We have had successful players who have played for us including British Open Championship competitors, a US Amateur Championship winner and a former member of the Italian Olympiad team. Probably our most famous player is Michael Basman, an International Master and a former joint winner of the British Championship
We are an ambitious club who want to compete for and win trophies and we have had some notable, historic, successes in recent years.
We cater for all of our members by entering teams at many levels in our leagues. We also run internal, grade limited (U-1400 and U-1800), tournaments to cater for
people relatively new to the game as well as improving players. This gives opportunities to play chess at a level that suits each of our members. Juniors who reach the appropriate standard are offered the opportunity to play in our "adult" teams if they wish.
