Many congrats to the Noisy Neighbours - a much better season than Horfield CC..
After a historic season for the club - promotion to Div 1 for the first time in 25 years and the B/C teams also performing well in their respective leagues - the summer club championship begins tomorrow! A 5-round Swiss with 18 competitors! #NoisyNeighbours #chess #Bristol

The oldest board game in the world and possibly the ancestor of #chess? It is called Senet and meant a lot to the Egyptians.

Boom!
A memorable victory tonight - a grinding 3.5-2.5 win against Downend C means that the A Team are pronounced champions of Bristol League Div 2! The crowning glory is a return for the club to Division 1 for the first time in 25 years! #ItsComingHome #NoisyNeighbours #Bristol #chess
At a loose end this Sunday evening? Come down to Downend for some pub blitz chess: bristolchesstimes.com/2019/0…

D team are pushing for the div3 title, whilst the C team play the B's on Tuesday needing some points to stay up
Mike H's position from Monday - White played Rh4 here. Can you find 1) the most efficient way for Black to win, and 2) the flashy move that Mike played?

Successfully bored my opponent into a draw at the @Horfield_Chess 75th anniversary match. Like two brick walls head butting each other... #chess

Painful evening for Horfield as the C and E teams compound the A team's capitulation (too strong?) by losing by the narrowest margins. #Pridebeforefall
