A Near Miss by Graham Brown: Gloucestershire met Norfolk on Sunday 16th June in the semi-finals and it was a chance for me to catch up with two good friends from Norwich Ken McEwan and Jonathan Wells, where I used to play in the Norfolk schools chess  league. These guys were a couple of years younger than me but still hovering around the 200 BCF mark at the time to my 130 BCF. John Emms was another of this generation of strong Norfolk Juniors and he went on to become Norfolk's first Grandmaster.

It is well known that chess is a game of the mind and of constant practice. The Stroud Chess Club has a first aid room available onsite for anyone needing treatment and to educate chess players about back supports braces for people wishing to play long tournaments as posture can be a serious issue and lead to long term back problems. Please speak to Megan (First Aider) at the nursing station for more information.

3 out of 3! for Stroud at the recent county match! Here are two of the wins from myself and Duncan. Duncan's game is very useful for anyone who wants to attack the ever problematic Sicilian! Mine is a gambit in the Scandinavian which gives Black quick development and active piece play. 

Draw with Rooks, Duncan has great win on board 1. See Duncan's game here We drew with St Edwards after looking like we were going to lose. Tigers is 2-2 with 1 game looking good for us on adjudication.
John's win from our draw with St Edwards, a new dangerously strong team in the 2nd Division. 2 games from John's 1st place in Swansea.
