Huddersfield have a storied history in chess. Its residents created what was to become the oldest chess magazine, and famous players have lived and played here...
Just like the football team however, sometimes it can be hard to predict the results when it comes to its current chessplayers. Sure, I did expect a Huddersfield win today... yet if you asked me at the start of the season if Huddersfield would win every single game in the Yorkshire league I'd be surprised.
As one of the strongest current chessplayers living in Huddersfield, I thought about making myself available for selection, yet told myself I hadn't trained enough. Holmfirth could have put out a stronger team than this. Readers worldwide should know that most chessplayers are NOT PAID for playing the vast majority of league chess, and may choose to do something else instead...
Truth of the matter is, many of Yorkshire's best young players were playing the British Rapidplay on Saturday down south. However... Holmfirth probably wished that some of their players would make a short trip to a venue they've played many times before. Greg Eagleton, defeated by the writer with the black pieces in 2004 despite some help from his dad, was no where to be seen. Isaacc Fossey has decided to play for Doncaster. Thinking of the future, Holmfirth could perhaps have selected Jacob Westmoreland...
A comfortable victory, and one that ensures that Huddersfield wins the IM Brown. Congratulations!
