Peterlee Chess Club

A little tactical blitz game here (5 minutes each) My idea was from move 34. Nf4 leaving the pawn on e4 hanging. My Night can't be taken as the pawn is pinned by my Queen.
My opponent obliged and took the pawn on e4. This allows 35. Nxe6+ he (or she) had to take back with the pawn. So I play a check on e5 winning the Rook and the game!
Always keep an eye out for tactical possibilities.

We started with 15 players, but a few have dropped out, the big question is..... will it get finished? We never have yet! 😆
It's not all over yet, if Guy can win his games he can catch Collin.

A 2-2 draw with Delves for the B Team, decent result.

So, the Summer is here and its time for internal club competitions that NEVER get finished! 😁
We've started a rapidplay league/ tournament, 25 mins each + 10 seconds a move.

Game on tomorrow night, local derby against Hartlepool.

Club night is Wednesday from 7pm. Thought I'd better mention this 😁

Decided to perform the two yearly update on our website, still very much a work in progress.

Maybe this summer we might get back to some alcohol induced wood pushing?

Here's how we're doing so far this season.
