Poll time... πŸ‘€ Would you support the idea of a London-wide Rapidplay or Blitz League? Similar to existing London League setup, only with different time controls and no adjournments. Let us know what you think... and please Retweet! πŸ‘πŸΌ

The final numbers are in. Wanstead are the only mover at this stage, but the final roll call looks as follows: 1. @hammer_chess 2. @BatterseaChess 3. @ChessHackney 4. Wanstead & Woodford 5. Athenaeum 6. @MetChessClub 7. Cavendish 8. @KingsHeadchess 9. Streatham 10. @GLChess
Appeal for information: What was the result of the Metropolitan v Wanstead & Woodford game in Division 2 last week?
The latest count of active players in LLC sees stalwarts @BatterseaChess field an impressive 15 new players since February 14th ❀️, but it’s still @hammer_chess leading the way with a whopping 67 players used so far! @ChessHackney @MetChessClub @KingsHeadchess @LewishamChess

Latest on the top 10: - no change at the top, as @hammer_chess and @ChessHackney continue to dominate - @MetChessClub and Athenaeum leapfrog @BatterseaChess and Wanstead respectively - Streatham and @LewishamChess make the top 10 at the expense of @GLChess and DrunkenKnights!
