Wallasey Chess Club is a member of the English Chess Federation, and is the biggest and friendliest chess club on the Wirral. We have many internal tournaments running throughout the year, and have teams playing against other clubs in both the Wirral and Merseyside Leagues - together with Cup competitions - so there is plenty of chess for everyone! New members are always welcome so please get in touch by email or just come down to the club one evening. We play at Wallasey Central Conservative Club on Mondays and Thursday evenings, with the games starting at 7.30pm.
BRIAN CLARKE (1945-2024)
by Graham Heath
It is with sadness that we must report that Brian, a member for the past eight years, passed away on 10 December.
He joined is from Hoylake Chess Club as he wanted to play more competitive chess. Initially, he made an impact by qualifying for the Premiership playoffs in 2016. However, a deterioration in his health meant that, after 2017, he was unable to attend regularly. Even so, he continued to support the club. His loyalty and interest in the club remained exemplary.
Brian was well thought of and will be missed by club members.
