Gustavo's first year with the club has been a very sucessfull one. As well as supporting our Empire team cement theiir place in Division 1 he managed an impressive 5 wins and 1 draw for a total of 5.5 out of 6 to be crowned the 2023 Club Champion!
After a hard fought playoff this year Ray managed to defeat Paul 1.5 v .5 to secure the Major title!
A great result for one of our senior members, even had a hard fought playoff to try and win the Major!
Congratulations to Gustavo Leon who, as already announced, is our Club Champion for this year.
Congratulations to Emma Salazar who is our Junior Champion.
Ray Devennery and Paul Costello are playing a two round play-off to decide who will be Major winner. Paul will be Minor winner even if he loses the playoff, so congratulations to him as well.
There are a couple of contenders for most improved player in the Club Championship based on October 2022 ratings. I am awarding this prize to David Prichard who was rated 1450 in October 2022 and got a creditable 3 points, so congratulations to him as well.
Prizes will be presented at our AGM in October.
Thanks to everyone who participated in the Club Championship. We ended up with 23 players. Three others dropped out, all for reasons unconnected with chess. All but one game were completed, nearly all on time despite the busy chess schedule we now have.
I will appreciate any suggestions as to how the Club Championship might be improved next year. We can start earlier in the year which will allow a bit more time between rounds.
