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:

League Secretary

General Secretary

Webmaster

Chairman

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

Upminster CC are the latest Club to introduce a website which you can find at:

http://www.spanglefish.com/upminsterchessclub/

This is a lively site with, in addition to the usual admin items, a page of "Chess Games" which are in fact some interesting positions of the "White to play and win variety" and another page with videos.

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!

02 August 2010  17:01:53

The Quiz trophySo 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

16 July 2010  01:17:45

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

06 July 2010  20:35:03

Team BlitzReaders 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.

LightningThe 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 more...
