New Records

It is great to report new records.

We reached a new record in terms of posts in a month, passed 150 posts for the year and had a record number of visitors both from international and UK sources!

Catherine Pyrich

Austin Lockwood  Sunday, September 30, 2018

The thoughts of all delegates and attendees at the recent ICCF Congress in Llandudno were with the sad loss of the former ICCF Finance Director and National Delegate for Scotland, George Pyrich.

ICCF and the Welsh Correspondence Chess Federation were honoured that George's wife, Catherine, accepted our invitation to attend Congress.  George's sister Irene, and brother Ronnie also attended the excursion to Llanberis and the closing banquet of Congress.

Many Congress attendees have told me how much they appreciated meeting members of George's family at Congress.

Catherine wrote to me recently to ask me to announce publicly her thanks to ICCF and WCCF for making her feel welcomed and supported.

Congratulations

Team Captain Report: 11th Euro Team Championship Preliminaries

Russell Sherwood  Sunday, September 30, 2018

Wales are currently in 3rd place, behind Slovakia and England but with games in hand!

A strong performance has put us in a commanding position with all to play for (Remember the +/- score is most important) in terms of Qualification. Slovakia and Germany look to be fighting for 1st/2nd, with the 3rd place up for grabs between a number of nations!

Not bad for the 2nd lowest rated team!
