11 October 2021 - Internal Friendly Match

In the absence of league chess, this match was arranged as an internal 'friendly' to give the oldies a chance to get back into the swing of things, and the newbies some experience. Board 7 was chosen as a juniors only game, and board 8 was added to give two new members the chance to play. Time control was 60 minutes for 30 moves, plus 20 minutes allegro. Results will be sent for grading.

Grading list 2021/22

Some notes on this:- for the most part, regular grades are the same as the published list for 2020/21, but there were very few opportunities to use these. Allegro grades drop off the list after one season, so the allegro grades below in brackets are from the 2020/21 list. Where players have no allegro grade, it'll show the same as the regular grade. Some of the juniors achieved a new allegro grade by playing in the online tournaments organised by Lenzie.
