NEWS FLASH:  Apologies to everyone for having not updated the website for so long. Thankfully, my exams have now finished until June so the website will now be updated regularly.   There are a number of new updates: a correspondence chess section, a message board and a guestbook. The correspondence chess page follows the progress of the county team as it bids to stay in the top division. According to Graham, things are currently going well. On the message board you can discuss the progress of each of our teams in the Herts league, post game scores you would like to appear on the website, also there is a section on the message board for discussing adjourned games with your opponent or other members of this club, there is also a meetings section  - this is hoped to eliminate some of the problems of arranging meetings - with the new virtual system you can just log on and chat about the congress etc from the comfort of home !!!!

Letchworth and Hitchin Chess Club is a friendly club for all ages which meets at the Plinston Hall in Letchworth every Monday evening from September -June.  From June to August we meet fortnightly at the Plume of Feathers in Little Wymondley where sometimes we invite strong players such as IM Andrew Webster to give coaching sessions.   

        Adults can come from 7.30 - 11.00. We run six teams in the Hertfordshire league and also participate in the knockout cups: the U100, U125, Sharp [U140] and Russell [U175].  Several of our players play for county teams.

        We have a thriving junior club of age range: 8 - 18.  This runs from 6.30-7.45 on Monday evenings. Stronger juniors may be asked to play for an adult team [the 6th team mainly consists of juniors.]   The club runs internal qualifying competitions for the county stages of the UK Chess International and the UK Chess Challenge.  Matches are also held against other junior clubs in Hertfordshire.

If anyone is interested in joining the club please contact the Club President Anthony Burrows on 01462 670010 or email the website editor at:   davalancox@hotmail.co.uk
