Club Night – 27th Sept 2023 – 7pm
We are having a club night on Wednesday 27th Sept 2023 at 7pm. We have some new members who wish to join our club so can we give them a nice welcome.
Afterwards, we can play fun chess!
So all welcome, hope to see you there!!
Gwent fixtures are in!
The Gwent fixtures for Division 1 and Division 2 are now available and the Malpas games can be found under the Gwent League item on the menu of this site.
Note that Division 1 is a 4 board league team; whereas, Division 2 is a 3 board league team.
Also the names of the players are provisionally allocated to the teams under the sub-menu Teams.
Hope this all makes sense!
New Website Design
With the new season starting, I thought we’d try a new website design. I have migrated the site to a new host so that we can utilise Chess plugins and see some games that we play during the season. If there is anything you want to put on then let me know!
Newport Chess Congress
Can we say a big thank you to all the Malpas Chess players who entered the Newport Congress last weekend. I think it was a great experience for some and we hope that it can be a regular fixture in the chess calendar.
Congratulations to Ron W who managed to come joint 3rd in the Intermediate. Also thanks to Andrew E, Andrew B, Jesse and Jack for participating and getting good experience for the league matches which will come shortly and for other tournaments in the near future. Well Done!!
