Website Update 8 October 2024
The chess season is now well underway with the Ayrshire championship starting on Thursday at the club then League fixtures starting 2 weeks later. Our league fixtures are now available on the Troon Team pages of the website. It would be helpful if players hoping to play in the A or B team could let team captains know if they are unavailable on particular dates. Now that the membership has just about settled down we hope to get club competitions started on 17th October with the first round of the club’s knock out competition (The Coronelli trophy) The draw may be subject change due to withdrawals and late entries. Once we get the Coronelli underway we hope to get the Gold, Silver and Bronze games started. A draft version of the Gold and Silver pairings can now be seen on the relevant competition page.
The next Ayrshire Junior Tour event will be held at Greenwood on Thursday 14 November. Congratulations to junior club members Duncan Brown, Andrew Purss and Gregor McNish who all won medals at the last event.
Coronelli first round draw (If you are not playing In Ayrshire Championship you can play your tie this week but I am hoping most ties will be played on 17 or 24 October.
