Chess Season starts with jamboree

The annual chess season opener, the WECU Jamboree, took place last Sunday.

 The West of England counties playing were Wiltshire, Somerset, Devon, Cornwall and Hampshire; a parallel grading-limited competition was contested between teams representing Somerset, Torbay, Exeter, Cornwall.

 The victors as last year were Hampshire in the County competition, and Exeter in the graded event. Devon scored with new recruit Augus Karlsson drawing an intense 20-move King's Indian on top board, and in the same opening Ben Beake had a fluctuating game against old rival Jeremy Menadue of Cornwall, eventually drawing a game that either could have won. Our thanks as ever go to the organisers, particularly J Fewkes.

 The neatest finish:
