Missing Trophy
Can you help?
We are missing the Essex League Division 4 trophy. It has not been seen since the 1998-99 season when it was won by Newham 2. After that, there was no Division 4 competition until 2007-08. We would rather like to present the trophy again to successive Division 4 winners.
Anyone who knows of its whereabouts is asked to get in touch via any of the email links below:
or any Officer [page link].
Minute Books
The Association's Minute Books for the years 1939 to 1972 have been missing for some time. Does any member have any information that might lead to their being located? Email: Webmaster

While we are on the subject, Thurrock CC announce another change of URL for their website which is now at: http://www.spanglefish.com/thurrockchessclub/
Both sites can be found on our Links page: ECA Site Office: Links which can be accessed from the foot of every page on this site.

East Saxons Champs again! |
|
So
it wasn't a fluke! The East Saxons quiz team, defending Champions
from Torquay a year ago, managed to retain the crown at Canterbury
in yesterday evening's British Chess Championships Quiz Night. Team
Pic
The team - lacking only Ian Reynolds from last year's winning combination - was Ivor Smith, Colin Ramage, John Philpott, David and Jane Smith. John Philpott on the essexchess Blog says: "...the quiz team swung into action to ensure that, whatever else happens, there will be one British Championship title coming home to Essex." An open-top bus tour is planned.

Essex U100 Champions |
|
What a story! Fledgling U75 hopefuls one year, take flight and win the U100 the next!
The ECF U100 County Champions are Essex, having defeated Warwickshire 8½-3½ in the final in Leicester on 10th July; a thoroughly convincing performance.
The team have carried all before them this season, not simply becoming national Champions, but doing it with a 100% record: Played 6 Won 6. Splendid! Read more...

Team Blitz & Lighting Championships - 4.7.2010 |
|
Readers
were able to follow the Team Blitz
on the essexchess Blog during
the event, thanks to the industry of John Philpottt. Unfortunately,
John was not able to report any shock result as Cavendish
cruised away with another clock for their collection - digital this
time - winning with 27/32, and a margin of 3½ points over second
team, Barking A. Full report with picture gallery are now available.

The
afternoon of the 4th July was taken up with the individual Lightning
Championship. Once again, there were no shocks, but Jeff Goldberg's
dreams of a hat trick - never done in the competition's 47 year
history - were dashed by the master of speed chess, David 'Quick'
Sands, who won with a clean score 5/5. Full report and picture gallery
have now been uploaded. Read
