They think it's all over....It is now!

The final and deciding game of the First Welsh Championships of the WCCF era has concluded, with a victory for new Champion LGM Helen Sherwood.

The event turned out to be very tight with 8 players within 1.5 points of first place and many permutations of final standings being possible until the last games completed. Gareth Yeo, in particular, can be only disappointed in almost pulling off one of the greatest comebacks in Welsh CC History, following his early blunder.

As a reminder  Andrew Smith and Eleanor Collins qualify to the Final for the next renewal.

The Ospreys have landed.

Chess holds its master in its own bonds, shackling the mind and brain so that the inner freedom of the very strongest must suffer.
