To All Members
We have received a message from Colin Green to say that last week a University player brought in a drink to the venue. This drink was spotted by a member of staff and raised with Colin.
Nuneaton have asked us to remind all players that drinks are not allowed to be brought into the venue.
Could all Coventry players please note the above because as a club we have had similar problems in the past with venues regarding food and drink. I would also like to remind everyone that the same rules apply at the Massey Ferguson Club and if any member sees an away player with food or drink not from the venue, please inform your team captain immediately.
Thank you
Coventry Chess Club. Check out the site for the latest news on the activities of Coventry Chess Club.

4NCL NEW Coventry Team
A new team consisting of players mainly from Coventry Chess Club have entered a team in the 4NCL.
They go under the name "Throw in the Tal". They play in Divison 3 South. The Captain is Dave Ireland.
They have now played over two weekends and have obtained a fantastic 3 points, which is a great achievement considering on every match they have been heavily outgraded on most boards.
The first weekend was a difficult weekend for the team, loosing 5.5/.5 to the Gloucestershire Gambits and then the following day again loosing 5.5/.5 to the team Guildford 4.
However, the next round of matches produced a draw on the Saturday for the team to get there first ever point and then winning comfortably on the Sunday to claim 2 points. There have been some outstanding performances with Joshua Pink and Ed Goodwin winning 2.5 points.
Special mention must also go to Paul Sweatman who was heavily outgraded on Board 6, pulled off a stunning win to ensure the team claimed the win in Round 4.
A very interesting situation arose in Round 6 with Joshua. In the end game Joshua had a knight and a bishop against his opponents king. He very quickly checkmated his opponent.It is worth all chess players just checking that you know how to checkmate an opponent in a similar situation. You never know when you may need to use the technique!
If you want to see the full results of the team then the 4 ncl website is very informative - have a look here
