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 had had to travel much further to clubs such as Alsager, Chester and Holmes Chapel. So the Crewe Chess Club was resurrected at the Mal’s club, in June 2014 by Dave Price, Les Hall, Martin Gill, George Scattergood, and 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. As at 24th December 2022 we had 49 members and in June 2023 after 9 years at the Mal’s club we had outgrown our room upstairs  and moved to our new premises with approx  60 members. After our first year (end 31 May 2024) at St Mary’s the membership had grown to 72 members. For the current 2024/25 season we are running eleven  NSDCA League Teams (increased from eight last season) and have a variety of all year round internal tournaments. With over 70 members (see the Player List), there is always opportunity to meet and play against new players either competitively or just for fun.
