Chess Match

On Saturday 18th November in the Chiltern League U160 competition, the Hampshire B team hosted the Berkshire B team. This time we had a complete team of 20 players with an average grade of 130. slightly higher than Berkshire’s average of 126. We were looking for a good result but it was not to be as Berkshire secured the win. The match ended 9-11 in favour of Berkshire.

This was another match of two halves. The top 10 lost 3-7 (+2, =2, -6) and the bottom 10 won 6-4 (+4, =4, -2), but unfortunately, this wasn’t enough to even draw the match.

The next match is at Basingstoke against Oxfordshire on Saturday, December 9th. If you would like to play please contact the U160 team captain, Ashraf Syed, directly or through the Contact form.
