I’m in hospitality for this, or you might say with the pawn sandwich brigade.

I can assure you there are no prawn sandwiches on offer.

I haven't been played chess very long, I'm a rookie at it.

I'll get YOUR COAT.

"I'll check it out on the knight."Reminds me of the big board outside Davies Sports in the 70s (;stand to be corrected on the shop name). Well done, sounds excellent.

Hopefully there won’t be many fools, mate

The giant set supplier is based in Leamington and isn’t keen on delivering to the CBS, so we might be stuck on that one. Hopefully can persuade them.

All competitors must wear the correct attire - No hot coral.
3rd choice shirts only - The Deep Blue one.

I will of course be wearing the 2 Tone kit, half of it’s a chessboard.

Bumping this with a few days to go. We will have a 5 year old among us who can already play blindfolded and will be going to his first CCFC game afterwards.

Remember to remove the blindfold

Did you have any luck with this BSB, if not you could just get Jeremy Beadle to play with a normal set and it would have the same effect.

Why didn’t you just take it?

Would have left the pepper open

 

[PaulPUSB]

Nope

I dont get why they are not all over it?.. Especially with the championships coming to Warwick Uni... You said they were unkeen on delivering on match day... maybe because its Easter Friday?

No, they were unkeen on delivering outside a 10 mile radius from Leamington.

We have a smaller ‘giant’ set in stock ourselves so planning to use that instead. Disappointing though!

But then it will become contaminated by condensation, can't have that, better take the vinegar or Mayo.

Can anyone join in or is it just for kids? I've never played before.

Should've had a stareout competition for the Saints home game, I'm sure their manager would've given a good account of himself

I mean it with the best of intentions to the chess community but I bet that guy has an online rating of 2200+

For everyone who wants to give it a try mate

 

[ccfc1234]

Someone had a post about the stadium the other day and the huge space below the ground. I can't seem to look back that far.

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

He'd offered to pay, but as it's rude he wouldn't have got the check.
