Many congrats to the Noisy Neighbours - a much better season than Horfield CC..

After a historic season for the club - promotion to Div 1 for the first time in 25 years and the B/C teams also performing well in their respective leagues - the summer club championship begins tomorrow! A 5-round Swiss with 18 competitors! #NoisyNeighbours #chess #Bristol

The oldest board game in the world and possibly the ancestor of #chess? It is called Senet and meant a lot to the Egyptians.

Boom!

A memorable victory tonight - a grinding 3.5-2.5 win against Downend C means that the A Team are pronounced champions of Bristol League Div 2! The crowning glory is a return for the club to Division 1 for the first time in 25 years! #ItsComingHome #NoisyNeighbours #Bristol #chess

D team are pushing for the div3 title, whilst the C team play the B's on Tuesday needing some points to stay up

[Horfield Chess Club @Horfield_Chess]

@joxnjoxn Yep all very satisfying, with just a few seconds left on the clock too!

Mike H's position from Monday - White played Rh4 here. Can you find 1) the most efficient way for Black to win, and 2) the flashy move that Mike played?

[Horfield Chess Club @Horfield_Chess]

@NBristolChess @TheWiltshir But the flashier move played after Rh4 was Rg1+! Qxg1, Qxh4, Qh2, Qxh2, Kxh2 and then e2 wins.

[Horfield Chess Club @Horfield_Chess]

@NBristolChess @TheWiltshir This is after Rh4 - but yep e2 was the computer suggestion, it still wins when you allow RxQ, exf1 and mate. And if the bishop moves then Qb1.

@TheWiltshir @NBristolChess :)

[Horfield Chess Club @Horfield_Chess]

Great, we'll be waiting for you next season ;)

[North Bristol Chess @NBristolChess]

A tense tense night of chess at The Ratepayers tonight. The A team coming out on top against a stubborn Thornbury side 3.5-2.5. We continue our march towards Division 1. #NoisyNeighbours #Bristol #chess

[Horfield Chess Club @Horfield_Chess]

@TheWiltshir @NBristolChess We just said it was great! Genuinely good to have another exciting club in div 1.

[Horfield Chess Club @Horfield_Chess]

Jon's opponent played Qe6 last night as Black. Why is it a blunder? (Follow through til the end!)
