We had a fun Chrismas meeting on Saturday 20th December. The club will reopen after Christmas on Saturday 10th January.
Thank you to everyone who dressed up for the occasion and bought food along for the buffet.
Thank you as well to Mel for taking some photos of the second half of the club. Some of Mel's other chess photos can be found here - https://melindawildephotos.com/
Happy Christmas everyone and Best Wishes for 2026

Chelmsford Junior Chess Club will finish 2025 with the Christmas Buffet on Saturday 20th December.
Everyone is encouraged to bring in a little something (nut-free) to share and dress in suitably festive attire.
Some of our stronger players took part in the London Chess Classic at the Emirates Stadium last weekend.
There were blitz and rapid plays that were running alongside the week-long Elite tournaments featuring some of the world's top players.
Well done to everyone who took part - there were some great individual performances and it was an excellent day out.
Former CJCC player FM Max Pert won the Sunday rapid play with 7/7 (beating GM Georg Meier in the last round).
