Apologies for not having posted for a couple of weeks. I’ve been in hospital with a severe bout of pneumonia. I’m now at home but still feeling pretty weak so can’t do very much.

I hope to get back to posting weekly puzzles shortly, and am planning a new feature on the history of chess clubs in the Richmond/Twickenham area.

The fixtures for the new season are now available on the Calendar page, and the dates for Social Chess between now and the end of the year on the Social Chess page.

Meanwhile, I have a match result to report.
