TORBAY AND
DISTRICT CHESS LEAGUE
SEASON 2009/2010
TREFOR THYNNE WRITES:
The TBGS team
has just won the Wales and West Zone of the
ECF National Schools championships (formerly
known as "The Times" Cup). To reach the
Zone final we beat Devonport High School and
Bristol Grammar School. In the final on 10th
February we travelled to Millfield School
who were national champions 2 years ago and
who are coached by GM Matthew Turner.
We beat Millfield 3.5 - 2.5 in a close and
tense match. Our team with grades was as
follows:
1.
Robert Thompson 170
2 Harry Mann 163
3. George Darling 159
4 Alex Billings 122
5 Freddie Sugden 114
6 Jeff Leung 126
Oliver Demeger 126 is also in the squad but
was unavailable for the final so it can be
seen that our team is respectably graded
even in relation for example to a DCCA
Bremridge team.
We do not yet know our opponents in the
first round of the national Stages though it
is likely to be one of the following:
Winchester college, Wellington college or
Reading School.
