Ashby 2 Still Winless
Ashby 1 Juggernaut Rumbles On
Ashby 1 made it 5 wins out of 5 in Division 2 after beating second placed Loughborough 2 by 3.5 - 1.5 last night. This completes their fixtures for 2024 and they will be heading into the New Year with a 2 point lead at the top of the table. They will kick off 2025 against Anstey 2, who have joined Loughborough 2 in joint second place.

Performance Stats
Please use the following links to view the Performance Stats for both the Club Championship and the U1450 Championship. These stats show your Performance Rating, rather than your actual rating, in each competition.
In the U1450 Championship, some players are shown as having played less games than others. This is because Darren and Doris Pearce defaulted some of their games. In addition to this, any games involving Colin Marley are not included as he is not a Member of the ECF.

The standings in the David Reynolds Cup have been updated to include games played up until the end of November. James Foster has jumped into the lead, closely followed by Tom Dove.
Tom's Tips
I received a very interesting and informative email from Tom Dove this morning, suggesting ways of improving your chess openings. I have published these under the tab Tom's Tips at the top of this page. Please take the time to read it as I am sure you will all find it very helpful and instructive. Many thanks to Tom for taking the time to write it.
Cup Presentations
Les was presented with the trophy for winning the LRCA Minor Championship by Nick Wyld last night.
Les then reciprocated by presenting the LRCA Harrod Cup to Nick.
