Want to know who we are are what we look like? Here are profiles of some of our most active club members . . . .

Dave Kent (Chairman)
Dave is a true chess fanatic and has been attending the club on a regular basis for over 10 years. His speciality is reviving opening variations from the past to shock 'booked-up' players. |

Richard Anderson
(Secretary / Captain 'A' Team)
I first joined the club at the tender age of 10 years old and, minus the odd break for university and studying abroad, have been playing for the club ever since. I work as a teacher in an IT training facility in Wolverhampton.
