The Leominster Championship, our annual competition to crown the club chess champions, will be making a return for 2025! Taking place from Tuesday 7th October to Tuesday 2nd of December, we begin with 4 weeks of round robin play where points are awarded for wins (half point for a draw). The players with the most point after four weeks then proceed to the knockout rounds, which begin on Tuesday 11th November.
We’ll host the semi finals on 25th of November and the finals will be played on Tuesday 2nd of December, with the awards then being shared the following week before we break for the festive period.
Normal club nights will always run alongside the championship, for those players not wishing to take part.
Players of all ages and abilities are welcome in the club championship, helping us build a legacy for chess in Leominster!
