And we’re off! Last night saw the launch of the new format for in-house competition.

If you’ve not yet signed up – it is not too late. You can do so here:  www.bit.ly/battersea2019. You can sign up any time and play whenever you can. Our new “Grand Prix” format is flexible, and allows club members to get graded games, while giving everyone something to play for.  

We kicked off with 8 matches last night. After one round the league tables aren’t very exciting, but here you go:
