Cheshire and North Wales Megafinal
Congratulations to all players from Wales who competed in the Cheshire & North Wales Megafinal in Cheadle Hulme on 12th May 2013. Sixteen of our players qualified for the Northern Gigafinal, which will be held on 13th/14th July 2013 in Manchester including 5 Supremi.
The Netsima Neath & West Wales Chess Tournament
The Netsima Neath & West Wales Chess Tournament, run by Castell Nedd Chess Club, took place last night with a battle between twenty three youngsters from Swansea and Neath. An evening of chess for the Under Elevens saw a major battle between several players but Tom Farley and Catrin Daniels took joint first place after they managed to knock a few points off the other favourites. Tom’s win also helped Waunceirch Primary take the Neath School’s Trophy.
In the under nine section, St. Michael’s had sent out their best player, Jack Cummines, but he was out foxed by Joel Cheung from Oakleigh who managed to checkmate his opponent in a last round duel that played for the title.
Tracey Farley, Tom’s mother, commented ‘Tom was very happy with his joint win with Catrin, but was even happier that he, Harri and Owain retained the school cup for Waunceirch Primary, a little legacy as they move on to Dwr-y-felin in September’.

Wrexham Chess Club News
Wrexham First Team defeated Chester by 3½ - 1½ in the last Division 1 match of the 2012/13 season; securing the championship of the Chester & North Wales League for Wrexham.
At start of play all results were possible and a convincing win by Chester would have allowed them to snatch the title from Wrexham, who had headed Division 1 for most of the second half of the season.
Wrexham’s nerves were settled by an early victory by David Simpson – this win also made David the Division 1 Player of the Year with a personal score of 10½ from 13 games. Charles Morris also won and draws from Richard Dineley, David James and Ray Holland secured the victory.
Wrexham First Team’s last game of the season will be the League’s Knock Out Cup Final against Rhyl&Prestatyn on 30 April.
