May 23rd will see us head over to our friends (or bloodthirsty rivals?) at @AshtonChess, who are hosting a rapid tournament for our clubs to do battle once more! With seven rounds of chess, and lunch, it promises to be fantastic #chess

It was civil war midweek. Our Team D took down Team C in the Team Knockout Contest. Well done to them; they face Huddersfield B in the final. #chess #englishchess

Ahead of tomorrow's Epsom Chess Club AGM, we are pleased to announce that club president Marcus Gosling and club secretary David Flewellen are now officially listed as ECF arbiters following their successful passing of the exam last month. We continue to stride forward.

Feels weird not having an elite tournament to watch today! Been some great streams these past couple of weeks with Carlsen, Gukesh et al. #chess

It was another combination of chess and food at the Vanilla Bean as our ladder competition continued into June. #chess

Last night, we held our Thursday club night at Denby Dale Community Library for the first time, and we loved it! Thanks so much to the volunteers who came to lock and unlock the building for us, and thanks also to everyone who attended - what a perfect space for chess! #chess

In the 90's computers competed with elite chess players, in the 00's, they overtook, but humans combined with computers was best for outcomes, but by the 2010's, humans were redundant. It will be the same with AGI. Very thought provoking! youtube.com/watch?v=2CuYchXJ…

With the Surrey League season now at an end and the Individual Competitions well underway, we have been reviewing our season thoroughly ahead of next Monday's club AGM. 70 different players have represented Epsom in the league this season, which is quite staggering.

this is an example of where computers think differently to humans. comp says play ... Qg7 and you're fine. But human player, especially short of time facing world no1, thinks i'm just a pawn down! instead Alireza played ... Bf4? and now he's in trouble.

We are please to announce another venue! The first Tuesday of every month will see us at the Yorkshire Rose! Right next to where I had my first job as a teenager. Ahhh, nostalgia. #chess
