David Reynolds

It is with much sorrow that we have to have to announce that David has passed away.
David has been a member of the club for almost 20 years, and in that time has contributed so much that has made our club what it is today. He will be sadly missed.
This picture reminds us of some of his many qualities. Cheerful & giving.

Wigston v Ashby Ivanhoe online 26th March

Here are more details of the match last night.

We have challenged Wigston to a re-match on 9th April. The number of boards depends on how many players each team can field, so contact Andrew Wilson if you would like to be included.

Online Chess match

All
Thanks to efforts by Andrew Wilson, we have arranged to play an online match v Wigston on Thursday 26th March.
The number of boards will depend on how many players each club has. So if we have 11 players registered and Wigston have 10, there will be 10 boards.
Each player will have two games of 20 minutes each, with a 10 second increment, against the same Wigston player.   Essentially it is the same format as the Harrod Cup.
The match will start at 7.30.
We look forward to a good match, and will publish the result here shortly after it finishes.
The match ended in a 7-7 draw, which was an excellent result for our heavily outgraded club.
Not sure who all the Wigston players are, but our heroes are :-
Roy Evans, Andrew Wilson, Mick(y) Brown, Sean McDonald, Neil Roberts, David Holmes and Stephen Holmes.
