During the course of our successful season we’ve had some fair slices of luck along the way. I can count at least 3 full point swindles in my own games! This match, although it finished 4.5 – 1.5 in our favour, was a good example of this luck, although perhaps we should also give ourselves …

(editors note - Apologies this is a late match report that I missed in my inbox so it is out of order with the others) With Clevedon 'B' beating South Bristol 'B' on Monday night, division 2 was turning into a very close 3 horse race. Horfield 'C' needed at least a draw to remain in contention …

Horfield C needed a win against Cabot A in order to secure a top two finish in division 2 but with Cabot fighting to remain in the division it looked like being a tricky fixture. However, by 9:30 Matias, Prakash and Tom had already won and the match was all but over. Prakash managed to …

A pretty tactic on Board 6 won the match for Horfield B. Black to play and win. Our penultimate match and somehow we were on for 2nd place on Easter weekend if we managed a point - with the skipper away we stuck to our mantra of 'hold them on the top boards, beat them …
While the eyes of the chess world were on the final day of the Candidates’ tournament (well done Fabiano Caruana!) the Horfield A team faced our own battle – could we get the point we needed at Downend to secure our first League Division 1 title for 17 years? The first challenge was to put …

Would you rather forecast the weather or chess match results? Last week we convincingly beat a significantly higher-rated Yate A ; this week we're outplayed by a theoretically weaker Downend E. And all credit to Downend : nothing fortuitous about their 3 wins, and top board Richard Palmer kept his equanimity in a tense, open …
