Bob collects another trophy!

Bob Fenn beat David Lettington in a very exciting final of Challenge Cup. The opening was quite cagey and tense until Bob missed a trick and allowed David to win the exchange.

However, Bob went on the offensive straight away and didn't allow David to get his pieces into the action and the game soon swung towards Bob.

After defending for many moves, David couldn't hold off the attack and soon ended up in a losing position. It was the first time that David had ever been beaten in the Challenge Cup, his unbeaten run lasting nearly 3 years.

Bob's win in the Challenge Cup this year came on top of his win in the A-league last year, so he has a different trophy on the mantlepiece now!

Bob collects the Challenge Cup from Councillor Chris Smith, the Mayor of Tonbridge & Malling.
