I'm pleased to announce that Cambridge City and Cambridge University have already arranged a date to play the annual Town v Gown match - a friendly match between the two chess clubs. Everyone is welcome to play regardless of playing strength, and the more players we have the better!

The event will be held at the Cambridge City Chess Club, Richmond Road on Wedsnesday 21st April from 19:30. Each player plays two games (one white, one black) at 30 minutes per player. We also change opponents so that everyone gets to play against two different opponents. The games are quickplay graded. It is a social evening, great fun, and food & drinks will be provided too!

If you want to see results from previous years they are all available on the Town v Gown section of the website.

To help with arrangements, please tell us if you'd like to play by emailing townvgown@cambridgechess.org.uk and mention whether you would be eligible to play for the University if required.

I hope to see you all on 21st April!

Philip Fallon
President Cambridge City Chess Club
