We believe this result is not an accident, and it reflects the many years of hard work by our volunteers that made our club grow to become the biggest in London.
Charlize van Zyl visited us last week and you can watch her tour in FIDE's video below:

Captain Peter Andrews reports on another Kingston B near-miss – against mighty Hammersmith. tinyurl.com/wpscsbbr A close match which included a terrific win by Will Taylor on board 1. Having a B team in Thames Valley division 1 is challenging, but we live in hope of surviving
This game was the last to finish, and it meant we won a very tough match that could have gone either way!
Well done to all who played

I was very lucky in my game last night, in a dead lost position where I had one last trick during the time scramble (15 seconds increment)
My opponent, as White, played Qxg6?? And I went on to win!
Two calculation lessons taking place tonight!
From 6pm, Kishan will take us through "Healthy Calculation for Beginners"
At 7:30pm, Gaston continues the trend, with "Calculation Step by Step!"
Join us and enhance your calculation skills!
