Our Website
Our site may look only slightly different to the recent update but we've added new features.
Have a look at our Tournaments section - here you'll see the results of our recent Rapidplay tournament. You'll see our previous tournament results here too in good time and next season you'll be able to keep up to date with our teams with league tables and results published here.
Watch out for captain's reports and articles submitted by our other members too.
We now have a members login section too - registering with the site will allow us to keep you informed of coming events and there's likely to be extra content available to members - so if you're interested in chess in Huddersfield please register today!
And if you can help with the content or you've got some good ideas - use the 'contact us' menu option and send us an email with your thoughts.
