The Minor and Challengers divisions to take place in the Anstey Methodist Church as part of the summer competitions for 2023

As expected, while taking some time off playing, ‘El Presidente’ is not wasting any time. Our beloved chairman continues to train junior players both in the club, and during the Saturday sessions at Beenies Soft play. (for more information, click here) In addition, Ben has found a great way to utilise the enormous hall which we use in the Anstey Methodist Church, and our club is scheduled to host two divisions of the Individual County Championship. The schedule for the games in the Challengers and the Minor divisions is listed below:

Round 1 11^th May

Round 2 1^st June (NB 3 weeks after round 1)

Round 3 29^th June

Round 4 27^th July

Round 5 24^th August

The time control will be 80 minutes for all moves + 10-second increment throughout. As expected, Anstey will have many members taking part in the championship, including some exciting young players looking to build on a very successful season and possibly challenge for the silverware in the Minor division.

The Major and Open divisions will take place in the Wigston Chess Club. For more information, visit the Leicestershire and Rutland Chess Association website.
