We are a friendly and established chess club about half way between Crewe and Stoke on Trent.

Although small, we had a couple of teams in the NSDCA divisions 3 and 5 before covid struck. We hope and expect that the planned new season of over-the-board chess will go ahead in October; but, like many teams, we have a diminished squad and will only field one team probably.

We'd love to get more people involved - either young or old, novices or seasoned players, or any level between.

If you'd like to play chess for fun, improve your game, or take part in competitive league chess, come along or contact us.

Covid-19 was a pain. But now we're back!

It spoiled all the fun and cancelled all but online for ages. But, we had a semi-normal league season last year after the NSDCA resolved to resume the league. And, hopes are high for a completely normal league season in October. Of course, covid is still out there. If you feel symptoms, don't come out to play; even better is to take a test.
