APRIL: Club chess is not available for the foreseeable future - hopefully it won't be too long before we can resume competitive play at The Bognor Club. Meanwhile, several players have joined an online Bognor Chess Club team - Bogor Brilliancies - on lichess.org. Jaimie Wilson has the full details.
MARCH 27: A number of Bognor Chess Club players are signed up to the chess website lichens - and Jaimie Wilson has organised them collectively under Bognor Brilliancies. The site is easy on the eye and intuitive to use. Apply to join at https://lichess.org/team/bognor-brilliancies After you have been approved, the easiest way to challenge a player is to hover the cursor over their username on the team screen and click on the clashing swords icon that appears. Many thanks to Jaimie Wilson for setting this all up. MARCH 22: Chichester Chess Club has confirmed it has suspended club nights at the Fishbourne Centre with immediate effect. Likewise, all Portsmouth Chess League matches have been postponed. MARCH 21: The chess club will not be meeting until further notice - until the current health situation ends.

Club member Michael Hemming has been putting the Lockdown to good use - by teaching himself The Knights Tour’ ... in reverse. Michael says: "It is more difficult than you would think." Michael has entertained members with previous demonstrations of the Knight's Tour - moving a knight around the board, visiting every square exactly once.
