Needing 4.5 points out of 6 to survive, Chessington pulled off the Great Escape last night beating Epsom 5-1 in the final game of our season and narrowly avoiding relegation!

Hoping next season will be more smoother…

A good win for our Fred Manning (Div 6) 'A' team last night, defeating @CHESSingtonClub 'B' 3-1. There were wins for both the Buckley sisters and for young Louis di Cicco, who is having a very solid season indeed.

Epsom 2 dispatched our friends @CHESSingtonClub 4-2 last night in the Ellam Trophy (Surrey Division 3).
There was a rapidfire victory for Marcus Gosling in 15 moves and a endgame grind for Chris Marshall in around 100 moves, plus a default win.
Next week, we face Farnham...

Chessington get knocked out of the Alexander Cup 7.5-2.5 to Guildford. Despite being heavily outgunned on every single board, there were several close games that could have gone either way and the two wins and a draw are a massive plus for us.

Chessington beat @DorkingChess 3.5-2.5 to reach the semi final of the Lauder Cup!!

The team is hoping to reach a second consecutive final after that heartbreaking loss last year!

We are delighted to announce that Epsom Chess Club will now meet at a new venue - a cosy pub on the outskirts of town called Ye Olde Kings Head.
We're more than a little relieved, given that the new Surrey League season starts on Monday!
Our website details will be updated soon.

Looking forward to the start of the new season!

One year ago, in the depths of lockdown, Chessington Chess Club was born!

It has been a great year culminating in winning the Fred Manning trophy as well as being finalists of the Lauder Cup!
