| 2009 Club Simul. |

 |
| On Monday, 3 August Fenton held it's second Simultaneous Chess
Exhibition. After staging a similar event last year with Alex
Richardson, this time it was the turn of
Simon Hood (ECF grade 180) from Alsager Chess Club who was invited to
pit his wits against Fenton's finest. |
| The above mentioned finest consisted of: John, Stuart, Karl, Robert
(Taylor), Joe, Ernest, Richard, Neil and Peter and with grades ranging
between ECF 125 and 63, we knew we would be in for a hard contest.
Despite everyone's efforts, the final score ended 8.5 - 0.5 in favour of
Simon, with Neil Davies the only one upholding the club's honour with a
creditable draw. |
| To make the night even more interesting, Alex Richardson (ECF 178) came
along and after the main event staged an impromptu "mini-simul" against
John, Karl and Peter with the score a predictable 3-0 to Alex.
All in all a most enjoyable evening and we all found it quite an
experience playing against such highly rated opponents. |
| Finally, many thanks to Simon Hood for coming along and bravely putting
his reputation on the line. His performance all the more impressive when
he mentioned that this was the first time he had taken part in a simul ! |
