A little more about Crewe Chess Club

Crewe had been without a chess club for many years, and players in the area wanting a regular game of chess, have had to travel much further to clubs such as Alsager, Chester and Holmes Chapel. So the Crewe Chess Club was resurrected in June 2014 by Martin Gill, Dave Price, George Scattergood, and  Les Hall and soon followed by Karl Lockett. Within a few months the club membership got to around 20 players. By the start of the 2019/20 season the club had expanded to running seven teams in the local Stoke League, together with one team in the Wirral League and a membership of approx. 30 players. Due to Covid the club was forced to move online during 2020 and 2021, but has emerged since August 2021 with a growing membership of over 40 players (see the Player List).
