Club
Championship
Following Vojtech's draw with Phil Hopkins and Sanjoy's win over Mark Wadsworth two players shared first place with an excellent score of 7˝ pts.
The event was very exciting with fighting chess throughout. Both players will share the trophy and it will be awarded sometime during the summer to Vojtech and Sanjoy. The Mike
Price memorial
trophy is a recent award organised by
Atticus club captain John Carleton. More information about it is on the tournament page.
