I have been playing competitive chess for four years after a long absence.
I joined Gosforth to re-awaken my love of the game and look forward to playing most Monday nights.

Chess has been a light touch hobby my whole life. Now I have stopped playing rugby, chess has had the time it deserved all along. Gosforth Chess Club was welcoming and friendly and I feel honoured to be able to help out in this role.
