League Chess, Back for 2008
The John Strawbridge Cup and Silver King trophies
The league's December adjournment had seen the University men of QUB technically leading the way in Division 1's standings, while second-placed North Belfast held the highest percentage plus a game in hand.
In Division 2, it was Bangor side Winston - so often the supposed "B team" of Bangor Groomsport - that had been setting the pace quite impressively. Racking up 5 wins from 5, Kevin Agnew's seaside outfit have left fellow challengers RVH, Bombardier and Malone trailing some margin behind them.
However, it was Fisherwick Chess Club that last night hosted a Grand Slam Wednesday in Belfast League Chess across both Divisions. Current Division 1 champions Clifton House visited Fisherwick, while Malone entertained the RVH Hawks.
