I thought I would share mine as I don’t always get into the 90s and had prepared against my opponent using a similar line that I prepared against Mr E King and the Alekhine

The Broadland C team is in division 4 of the Iceni league. We normally have one match a week during the season. The link to the game can be found here in the club or in your live play within the Chess.com app. I can also send it to you if you want. Access to the match is from one hour before start time. You will see the prompt to join. Please note you can not join after the match starts, so I recommend joining early. Plus joining early helps me see that everyone is there. When you join, Chess.com will automatically pair you when the match starts. There are two games against the same opponent, once as White and once as Black. The games are 15 mins each side plus you get an extra 10 seconds per move. So if you get short of time like me you can build a bit of time up by moving quicker. Once your first game finishes your second match will start straight away. Any questions or concerns please feel free to ask Please don’t worry about losing as that’s something we are good at. I just ask that if you can’t play you let me know so it’s fairer on other players. One of the downsides is that if the other team do not have the same number of players the Chess.com computer can not allocate a game. So I try and agree the numbers ahead of time with the other team Captain. Regards Martin Selhurst

This Friday at 7.30 we will be playing Norwich Juniors. I need to confirm players later tonight.

Greetings to you all. Welcome to the new Broadland C team. We will be playing in the Iceni league division 3 when it all starts again in a couple of weeks. In case you didn't know I am nwosteve10 Steve Cotterell and I am the team captain. My aim is to give as many people as I can games. I am happy to sit out and watch as necessary. We are here to play chess, have fun, make friends and, if possible, improve our game. A little about me. I used to play for Lowestoft but had a major "falling out" with them and Norfolk chess two years ago. Some of you may know why if you don't and you want to know, just ask. I joined the Norfolk Nomads and played in division 1 and became their captain. Broadland kindly offered me an honorary place in their club which I gladly accepted. I was a member of the winning under 120 team in 2018, won and placed second in the Great Yarmouth under 120 and won the Norfolk rapidplay under 100. Please can you introduce yourselves by chess.com and real name so I can see who we have to choose from. Heather not you as I know you. I will post fixtures, results, news etc in the forum as necessary. Many thanks, here's to a fun season. Steve Cotterell (nwosteve10)

I aim to give as many people games as possible. I am happy to observe as I am also captain of a division 1 team. Good luck, it's gonna be tough but it's all about fun and enjoying it. Any questions please message me. See you on the boards. Captain Steve.

Lady and gentleman. As well as the league there are plans to hold a cup competition in the off weeks starting February. Its not definite ATM but, if you want in, I'll put our name forward. Could be fun...or we could draw Norfolk and Norwich and take a beating. Captain Steve.
