Hampshire Individual Chess Championship 2004
The original post from the old Hampshire Chess website on the 2004 Hampshire Individual has been reproduced for the site. Alongside the Open a U125 tournament was also held.
WECU Online County Chess Matches 2023
The combined Hampshire (11 players) / Dorset (3) / Wiltshire (2) lost 4 – 12 to Devon in the WECU Online Final. We were always a big underdog facing a very strong team, and with two local tournaments at the weekend this made it an even harder challenge.
Dorset can be particularly happy as they scored 2 points from their 3 games with Allan and Tim both winning. Chris McSheehy hade a very nice checkmate and both Rajasekhar and Mike Krawczuk held stronger players to draws.
Many thanks to all the players, as there is a lot of chess being played presently and I appreciate the effort from everyone to play. We obviously did very well to win our semi-final against Gloucestershire and maybe next season we can challenge!
