The second round of the Blitz Tournament was played and current Trophy holder Lars Dobbertin-King continues to led the field.
But, it is close—with a bevy of players close behind.
Next week we start the final Leo Eichholtz series, not the Freebird Trophy as previously advertised.

Early in the second series of the Leo Eichholtz 25+5 tournament, the two front-runners had an encounter that made for a hard-fought battle. Ross Jackson lost the game on time, but the final few moves by both players were very much playing to the clock. Result: 1-0.

Series Two of our Leo Eichholtz Trophy is now finished and Guy Burns takes this series with 7 points.
Alan Winfield is overall leader, but stormy seas have hampered his lead and David Paul is only one point behind with a final third Series to be played.

Blitz games will be played next week, followed by two nights of our Freebird Trophy.

Played 7th June 2016. 25+5 minute time control. A close game Ross almost won in the middle, but after a series of exchanges he conceded his advantage. Result: 1-0 by resignation.

Guy Burns leads the 2^nd Series of our Leo Eichholtz Trophy, but overall leader is Alan Winfield, 1.5 points clear of David Paul. We have two more games to go in this Series, then a break—with a Blitz night, followed by 2 nights of the Freebird Trophy—before the 3^rd Series of the Leo Eichholtz starts.

Alan Winfield’s golden run has come to an end with his first loss in the Leo Eichholtz Trophy—thanks to Guy Burns.

Our Grand Prix Trophy has been renamed and rebuilt in honour of Glenys Mills, a founding member of the Club.

An exciting and dynamic game from the Leo Eichholtz 25+5 series of 2016. Ross missed his chance with an otherwise brilliant sacrifice, and although Lars ended with a winning position, he was shaken enough that he offered a draw under pressure. Result: Draw by agreement.

First 2 rounds of the Leo Eichholtz Trophy were played and Alan Winfield continues his rapid relentless run, knocking off his nearest rival–a win on time over Ross Jackson.
