League results and tables

Does anybody reading this know of any recent results, or up to date league tables from Div 1 ?

The obvious answer is to look on the new Coventry chess league website, but unless i'm losing the plot, the most up-to-date results seem to be partial results from the 25th Oct.

Bobby Fischer

At 9pm on Wednesday 30th November BBC 4 9pm Storyville there is an analysis of Bobby Fischers life.

May be worth a watch as it is unusual for chess to even get a mention on any TV programme.

Warwick University - UPDATE

Taken from the Coventry League website

Changes in Warwick University teams and location Posted: 17 Oct 2011 11:34 PM PDT Warwick University have added a team to play in Division 2 (position 5 in the table) and called it University E. So - note that there are now more games in Div 2. Also note [all divisons] that the University have changed their chess location. It is now in Rooms 4 and 5 of the Students Union HQ. To get there find the Costcutter supermarket on the site and it is up the stairs to the RHS.

Coventry and District Chess League Website

The league have a new website where they are posting the latest league and cup results.

Plus,I believe, they hope to get League tables updated as well.

Well worth checking the site out to keep up to date with the latest results.
