4NCL First Weekend Report (Nov 2019)

Once again Crowthorne has two teams competing in the 4NCL (Four Nations Chess League), the UK’s national team championship. We have one team in Division 4, and one team in Division 3, having gained promotion last year.

The first 2 rounds have just taken place this weekend (9-10 November).

The B team narrowly lost 2½ – 3½ on Saturday but a 5-1 win on the Sunday puts the B team comfortably mid table.

The A team won 4-2 on the Saturday and 5-1 on the Sunday so a strong start in division 3.
