2nd SEPTEMBER TRAINING DAY IS CANCELLED

The planned club training day proposed for the 2nd of September has had to be cancelled.

This is partly due to a lack of numbers, as players are away on holiday.

The chess club will start as normal on Friday September 9th.

Also new for this season we are going to have a beginners club,this starts a week later on Thursday the 15th.

GREAT GAME FROM BOBBY FISCHER

This is a game played in the Bled tournament in 1961.
The winner of this game is Bobby Fischer,perhaps the greatest chess player ever.
Fischer was World Champion in 1972.
He died in 2008 aged 64.
64 is also the number of squares on a chessboard.

In this game you will see TACTICS,the usual ones,PINS,FORKS and some you may not have seen. Queen SACRIFICE,knight OUTPOST on d6.

While you are playing over the game look for TACTICS,perhaps you could use them in your games.
Also enjoy a great game.

(show chess board)(hide chess board)

The game would finish 38...... Kg7 or Kh7
39.Rxf7+ Kh6
40.Rh8+ Kg5
41.Rxh3 wins the black queen with a TACTIC
This leaves white with King,Bishop,2 Rooks and 2 pawns against blacks King,Bishop and 4 pawns.
