Congratulations to Ciaran Conway on winning the Marr Chess trophy. Some photos from the event have now been uploaded to the Photo Gallery. Ciaran has won a hat trick of trophies this year – the Club Championship, Motwani Quaich and the Marr Trophy. Ciaran defeated Timur in a closely contested final with Duncan Brown defeating Andrew Purss in the play off for 3rd place. You can see the results of other club competitions on the relevant web page. The formal chess season is now over but members (adults only) can play chess in the downstairs bar over the summer months. Members playing chess should retrieve chess sets from the upstairs cupboard and replace them there before leaving.
Fixtures and results for all club competitions can be viewed on the relevant web page. The results of these club games have updated the grading for players and you can see current live grades using this link https://www.troonchess.co.uk/troon-chess-club/players-grading/ If you played a gradable game which is not shown on the website please e mail me (boblreid@hotmail.co.uk) with the result asap.
