Congratulations to Wolverhampton A on becoming Wolverhampton Summer League Division 2 Champions 2010.
01/07/10 Wolvsall and Wolverhampton A in action at Wolverhampton. WSL Div 2 A team: Pre match calculations and research indicated that a win against St George's may just gain Wolverhampton the title of Wolverhampton Summer League Div 2 Champions! So some pressure, St George's bought a strong team despite 2 away fixtures in 2 nights. A great and tense match. Wolverhampton 3.5-1.5. The Summer league isn't over yet though and our WSL A play their final match of the summer league next Thursday 08/07/10. Awards and summer league quickplay night will be the evening when all successful teams and players will gain their acclaim.
Wolvsall lost 1-4 to West Bromwich 01/07/10 M Groombridge and M Wooton drew. Well done all.
28/06/10 Well 1 week after the Rushall A clash our A team returned to Rushall to play Rushall B. Early feedback indicates it was an exciting night. Well done Wolverhampton A for achieving an impressive 1-4 victory against Rushall. We won on the bottom 3 boards and drew the top 2 boards. Especially well done to our Brian Walker for beating a much higher graded player.
Wolvsall team achieved a draw against Rushall A. Good result. Peter P Jones and M Groombridge won, R Marshall drew. V good result at Rushall.
21/06/10 Well our Wolvsall team achieved a draw against Rushall A. Good result. Peter P Jones and M Groombridge won, R Marshall drew. V good result at Rushall.
Meanwhile our WSL A team were at Birmingham St George's but alas no chess pieces were moved and in fact wheelchair access was non existent which was contrary to our belief! No match took place and a reschedule is planned.

28/04/10 Last week we had a fantastic Pittaway Cup victory. This week we had our second Cup Final. Barry led his intrepid team to Stafford to play Cheddleton & Leek in the Jackson Cup County Final. Alas we didn't win. Dave Wightman won, Gordon Sands drew. Well done team on getting to the Final and for battling so hard in the Final.
Write up coming soon. Thank you to Stafford for hosting and well done to Cheddleton & Leek on their victory.
Pittaway Cup Mega Final: Last year our team travelled to Stourbridge to play a strong Halesowen side who'd just been promoted from WDCL Div 2 to 1. This year we play last year's Pittaway Cup Final hosts Stourbridge. This year Stourbridge A have also been promoted from WDCL Div 2 to 1. Last year our team lacked some of our regular A team players. This year's Pittaway Cup Final may be a titanic battle. Can Wolverhampton retain the Pittaway Cup? April 21 2010 Bushbury Chess Club is a date for your chess diaries. May the Best team win!
21/01/10 Busy night at our club with a total of 13 boards playing. Wolverhampton beat Stafford 5-3 in round 2 of the Pittaway Cup. Our WDCL B team draw with Walsall Kipping. With the score at 1.5-2.5 to the visitors board 4 would decide the match. Dave Wightman won on board 1 and maintains his 100% record. Paul won on 4 and Peter Jones on board 2. Well done all and thanks to visiting teams for the great contests.
05/01/10 St George's WDCL A match final score 4-2 upon the board 1 adjournment being settled.
17/12/09 WDCL A beat St George's A. Well done all. We put up a strong team. So 2 match wins before Christmas is a nice present. Next match 19/10 at Halesowen.
03/12/09 A busy night for our club with 3 matches to play. Frank's Dudley league Div 1 team achieved 2 draws on boards 1 and 2 but lost match 2 of their debut season at Warley Quinborne. Our Div 3 team played host to the Warley Quinborne Div 3 team and they also narrowly beat Wolverhampton.
Gordon's WDCL B team played Rushall B in the 2nd home match of the evening. Max won by default, Dave Wightman notched up another win and remains undefeated. Gordon and Richard lost on 3 and 2. Paul Walters faced a tricky and complex endgame but played it well and built on a time advantage. A draw was declined by the Rushall player but soon after time pressure led to a mistake and so Paul gained the full point we needed to win the match. Well done team and thanks to Rushall for another great battle. Wolverhampton B 3 Rushall B 2. A nice victory following the previous emphatic loss to Rushall A.
30/11/09 BDCL A draw at S Birmingham. Well done all on this great result.
26/11/09 Wolverhampton beat Halesowen 3-1 in the first ever Wolverhampton, Dudley league Div 1 match.
23/11/09 Our WDCL B had a tough match against Rushall A and lost 4-1 Away. David Wightman scored the only win of the night and remains undefeated this season on 5/5. Dave is an early contender for AGM trophies but can any of our members catch up?
12/11/09 Two home matches: Well done to our WDCL B team for beating visitors Bushbury. Our Dudley Div 2 team faced an unbeaten Boldmere St Michael's. Our team wasn't up to usual strength due to players supplementing our WDCL B but some good battles. Board 1 was close and Paul was optimistic about his position but low on time and blacks bishop pair trained on the white king.
