First Thursday Gambit Tournament

Our Club's match night has long been Monday, but beginning 19-October-2017 we have been meeting on Thursday nights too for talks, tourneys and tuition rather than league or cup games.

Then in 2018 we started a series of First Thursday Gambit Tourneys. As the title suggests, on the first Thursday in each month we run a gambit tournament. It is played at blitz tempo (e.g. 3' + 5") over 5 or 6 rounds with every game starting from the same gambit position decided at random at the start of the evening so no one has advance knowledge.

All chessplayers are hereby invited to attend!

Here are the results so far. A few Thursdays were skipped due to clashes with away matches, etc.
