25 March club night
Further success for Guildford teams in last night's matches, this time in the Surrey League. In Division 1, Guildford 1 beat Wimbledon 1 by 5.5–2.5. In Division 4, Guildford 4 beat Kingston 3 by 5–1. In both matches, the Guildford teams outrated their opponents by about 130 points a board.
Mike Gunn led a session for the Beginners and Improvers, demonstrating basic checkmates in pawnless positions. Interestingly these included King, Bishop and Knight v King, which is far from basic.
The internal rapidplay completed 74 rounds. Tauseef Rahman won all three of his games last night to move into second place in the table. James Toon and Adam Sefton are the only players still on 100%.
The Guildford FIDE Congress now has 132 entries, just a few short of last year's total of 136 with over two weeks to go.
