3rd Emmanuel Chess Festival

Emmanuel Church, South Croydon

Saturday 7th March 2004, 1.45pm to 5.30pm

A total of 82 players took part in the 3rd Emmanuel chess festival. Players were split into 4 sections: Adults, secondary school, Junior and Novice.

Play took place in a competative and friendly spirit, with few disputes.With only half an hour allowed for each game not all games finished with checkmate - some had to be adjudicated (always a tricky thing to do) whilst other games were played with chess clocks, with only 15 minutes per player. In both the adult and secondary sections crucial games were decided by the clocks. Perhaps next time we will allow more time for games in these sections.

As well as the main chess sessions, the other activities were popular, including playing with the giant chess set, chess computers, snooker and table tennis.The refreshment stall was also very popular and did a roaring trade in sweets, chocolate bars and canned drinks.

It was great to have a real live bishop to present the prizes. Nick Baines, Bishop of Croydon, explained why Bishops have Mitres (to look like tongues of flame, as in Acts chapter 2). So beware the fiery bishop! He handed out 26 runners up trophies and 5 champions trophies
