Chess improver at Gosforth Chess Club, Newcastle upon Tyne, UK.
After 2 terrible congresses this year, I'm so happy with the 1st half of the season as we break for xmas:

Club championship (open) 3/3 - joint first
County championship (U2000) 3/3 - half a point ahead in 1st
League 5/6 - team is top of Division 2.

Final position in my latest game:

Recent game of mine. White to play. What's the best move here?

Best move is +1.8. 2nd best is +0.7.
Fwiw I played the 2nd best which was good enough in the game.

Any #chess folks here actually able to see the difference between the 3 Staunton sets at the chess and bridge store?

Such a great start to the season in a tough division! We are top of the league, say we are top of the league!
