EPSCA Inter-Association Team Championships 2022

After two years of Covid-19 Lockdown, the players have fully embraced the return to over-the-board competition.

Whilst we haven’t been able to prepare the teams to the same level as previous seasons it is important to return to playing normally and the players remain as enthusiastic as ever.

Finding suitable venues at short notice has proven a challenge, but the ever reliable Richmond Junior Chess Club have responded by offering to host three of the five events.

Results of these events can be found via the following links:
