Due to the adverse weather quite a few fixtures were postponed in
the last couple of weeks so expect a busy playing schedule during
the spring. The latest spreadsheet includes an up to date
grading sheet of all the players that have played so far this season
( approx 300 league players ) this can also be viewed on the

The Bristol League Congress
unfortunately could not be held at Bristol University ( Our usual
venue ). It is highly likely that a weekend in March at Yate will be
the solution. As soon as this is confirmed all the details

A narrowly defeat Clevedon A to go back to the top of Division One
but significantly have played a game more than their rivals Clifton
A. Horfield C become a surprise package as they move
confidently to the top of Division Two proving that last seasons
success was no fluke. Clifton C with two games in hand could
take over at the top though. In Division Three Keynsham B
dropped their first point of the season after a 3-3 Draw against
local rtivals Bath B but still look dead certs to win promotion to
Division Two. Harambee still head Division Four after enjoying
a good season so far. Division Five is a tight affair with
three teams locked on 7 pts each.

Liverpool
Round 10 - Jack Rudd loses to IM
Dietmar Kolbus and remains on 6/10 as Steve Dilleigh catches the
winning bug and gains back to back wins after a solid performance
against Steve Berry 2363 to reach 5/10 which must be regarded as an
excellent performance.
Jack Rudd Gets an IM Norm in Round 9
with 2 Rounds left to play after winning this afternoon in just over
2 hours play against Yang-Fan Zhou an under 13 prodigy from Richmond
Juniors. After the Opening went badly wrong, Jack fought back
well turning a drawn position into a winning advantage in breakneck
speed to leave him nicely placed on 6/9 and even an outside chance
of becoming British Champion with only 2 Rounds left!

Jack Rudd currently on 6/10 - 1 to go!
Wins on Saturday against Francis Rayner and again on
Monday against IM Jeff Horner has left Jack Rudd only a point adrift
of the outright leader Bogdan Lalic who Jack should have got at
least a Draw against last Friday. Jack played well against GM Glenn Flear
with the Black pieces today comfortably managing a Draw in Round 8
to add to his Draw in Round 1 against GM Keith Arkell.
Steve Dilleigh is battling hard with a respectable
3/8 after a good draw against Mark Lyell
lasting 84 moves on Monday.

Chris Beaumont 4½/5 was firing
on all cylinders last weekend as he dealt with the threat of Alex
Therrien and James Cobb ( fresh from achieving an IM Norm over in
the South Wales Masters )
The Congress venue proved a success
with over 90 entrants competing in four sections and a generous list
of Prize money on offer. Even the weather showed its kindness
over the weekend as a taste of summer arrived on the harbourside.
