Last Friday saw the second and third team in action against Wolverhampton Grammar:
It was a tough night for the second team who eventually lost 9-3 to Wolverhampton.
The third team faired a little better eventually losing 6.5 to 5.5 in a nail biting encounter which could of gone either way. Well done to Amaron Bhatti and Dhiren Bahia who were the most successful players on the night, credit to the Bloxwich chess club connection again!

A Good Start to the 2015 - 2016 Season!
Division 2:
The first team started with a hard fought victory over Camp Hill's second team. The still undefeated Ben Nevett Farman won both his games and was the first to finish. Karthik Selvan, in his debut first team match, also won both his games. Other notable performances include Saif-Ullan Hussain and Abu-Bakr Ahmed both managing to win a game after being called into the first team last minute. Both players started playing in the fourth division only 3 years ago. They have progressed considerably over the years, and are now competent first team players!Final Score:
QMGS 8 Camp Hill 4
Division 4:
A second victory of the season for the third team puts them in a commanding position in their division, with 3 games left to play they have a distinct possibility of winning some silverware! Especially well done to Amaron Bhatti for winning both his board 1 games.
Results so far:
QMGS 9 - Queensbridge 3
QMGS 10 - King Edwards Handsworth Girls School 2
Under 13 Division:
A tough start to the season for our fourth team with a difficult fixture against Camp Hill's third team. However some of the year 7s did manage to win games and all players will have doubtlessly learnt many valuable lessons that will serve them well in the future.
Final Score:
QMGS 2.5 - Camp Hill 9.5
QMGS 2.5 - Camp Hill 9.5
