2nd Len Hammond Memorial match

Congratulations to Maidstone Chess Club for winning the Len Hammond Memorial match for the second year running.

It was a well deserved victory for Maidstone, who managed to win 5 out of the 8 games.

The Snodland players Matthew Bunn, Tyrone Jefferies and Hugh Broadbent all played extremely well to get draws against higher graded players.

A special mention also goes to Zibby Koncki who defended for a very long time before turning a cramped position into a strong attack which threatened to breakthrough. However, both Zibby and his opponent got into severe time trouble just as the game became extremely complicated and David Munford won a rook, forcing Zibby to resign.
