We start the 2020 U 1600 County Championship as reigning champions but have made a rather inauspicious start with Martyn drawing his first game. With only 5 boards in the match with the Channel Islands we need to be careful not to slip up !

Martyn's redeemed himself with a win against the Channel Islands where the score is now 1.5 - 0.5 in the 5 board match.

Our stuttering start to the match against the Channel Islands continues as Jim wins one and loses one of his two games. The score is now 2.5 - 1.5.

Panic over. We've begun the defence of our U1600 title with a win against the Channel Islands. Two wins for Katherine and one for Philchilla have taken us over the line with a score of 5.5 - 1.5 in the 5 board match. Well played, Both !!

Two timeout wins for Martyn have started the Aberdeen match off well. Wyvern 2 Aberdeen 0.

The Aberdeen match continues to be a disappointment with RikHart winning two games on time, Philchilla lost on time and Jim actually winning a game. 5 of the 6 games have been lost on time.

A draw for Jim has taken us over the line with a 5.5 - 1.5 victory over Aberdeen.

It's now Wyvern 6 Leicestershire 0 after wins for two Jameses and ChrisTT. Well done, Folks !

Wyvern 8.5 Leicestershire 1.5 after wins for David and James and a draw for Martyn. This confirms an overall win. A win for Rikh puts us 7.5 - 1.5 up against the Channel Islands.

Our match with newcomers Aberdeenshire was a bit of a non event. We won 7.5 - 2.5 but six of our victories and one of theirs were on time outs so only three out of the ten games were played out to a finish.

A defeat for Philchilla made the final score 7.5 - 2.5 in our favour against the Channel Islands.

A win for Greengooner has equalised the Suffolk match. It's now 1-1 in the 4 board match.

Another win for GG and one for DavidAC has put us 3-1 up against Suffolk.

A win for Rupert has put us 10.5 - 2.5 in front against Leicestershire in a match we have already won. Not so good is our match with London where we find ourselves 0-2 down after David and Jim both lost.

Avatar of Greengooner

GG has lost on board 1 against Leicestershire and Rutland to make the score 10.5 - 3.5 in the match we had already won.

Martyn's sharing of the spoils on top board against Suffolk has put us 4-2 up with just half a point more needed for victory.
