Season 4 of the online 4NCL (The Four Nations Chess League) started on Tuesday, and Crowthorne Chess Club has two teams playing – Crowthorne 1 in Division 3 and Crowthorne 2 in Division 5.
Crowthorne 1’s start to the new season was rather inauspicious, as they went down 1.5 – 2.5 despite significantly out-rating their opponents Bristol Cabot Blackbeards.
Crowthorne 2, on the other hand, achieved the reverse result by beating their opponents by the same margin, despite being out-rated by over 300 points on average.
Full results, tables etc can be found on the 4NCL website.
