This is the web site of the Norfolk County Chess Association it is intended to provide useful information to members of the NCCA and to people who are interested in playing chess in the County of Norfolk. It is linked to the county magazine En Passant web-site though to get the real value of this super magazine you may be better to subscribe.
The Object of the NCCA is to organise, encourage and promote adult and junior chess throughout Norfolk, including appropriate surrounding areas, and to represent players and clubs from that area by affiliating to the British Chess Federation (BCF) and the East Anglian Chess Union (EACU). The Associations consitution is available here.
Our County sides have done well in recent years. The Captains will usually welcome new faces and you can play for the County at several different levels.
For details of the county matches please visit the East Anglian Chess Union website
Now available. Analysis of the the games from the recent Norfolk (Great Yarmouth) Premier Open 2009 see the analysis page for online views of the games !!
Norfolk Championship 2009
This year's Norfolk Champion is Mike Harris, winner on sum-of-opponents'-scores from Caius Turner. It was a dramatic championship, and the full story appears in the En Passant November and December 2009 issues. There will also be a feature on the excellent play of our juniors (William Boulton, Alan Merry, Gordon Scott and Ben Slater) in the tournament in the January 2010 issue. On this webpage you can find all of the games from the Championship tournament, nearly all of them with notes, except the games that will appear with notes in En Passant. I have used Rybka to analyse the most interesting variations, but you should treat these lines (and the assessments) with some caution - the analysis was done quickly so that I could get the games onto the website this side of Christmas!
