Derby Chess Club’s October tournament was themed around the King’s Gambit. Plenty of fireworks, during four rounds of high octane chess!

On Tuesday (06/05/25), we revisited Chess 960 for our final “first Tuesday of the month” social event for the 24/25 season. With 20 players this was the biggest turnout for our events so far!
