Tynedale are doing well in Season 2 of the NE Online Chess League under Dave Humphrey’s guidance.
I have copied the results to a TCC page (TCC NEOL Page) on the left hand side of the screen, though they are currently also available on the NEOL Website
The last match of the season is next Tuesday, 9 March against Darlington.

Coronavirus update: Club nights suspended
Posted by Tim W on March 20, 2020
We have decided to suspend Thursday club nights until further notice.
We play online at chess.com and lichess.org, but mostly lichess.org
Our lichess club is https://lichess.org/team/tynedale-chess-club
For reference our chess.com club is http://www.chess.com/club/tynedale-chess-club-1 , but as I say not used much
There has been some confusion about the chess.com club name, though hopefully that has now been sorted.
Within chess.com the club is called “tynedale-chess-club”
This corresponds directly to the link above.

How many ways, can you list, to draw a game of chess?
Posted by dwhump3yahoocouk on December 9, 2018
As a little challenge, give this a try for yourselves before reading on!
So far, I’ve counted no fewer than 7!!
- Draw by agreement:- This can happen at any time throughout the game.
- Draw by stalemate:- This most often occurs in endgames, but can, on rare occasions, happen in the middle game.
- Draw by the 50-move rule:- If no pawn is moved or capture played in 50 moves, the game is a draw.
- Draw by 3-fold repetition:- If the same position occurs, with the same player to play, three times in a game, the game is drawn.
- Draw by perpetual check:- One side plays a series of checks that the other side can’t escape from.
- Draw by insufficient material:- If all you have left is a knight or bishop plus king against a lone king, no checkmate is possible, and the game is drawn.
- Draw on time:- This is the one that a lot of players forget about. If the only piece you have left is your king, then you cannot win on time!! Your opponent MUST checkmate you, within the 50-move rule, before his clock runs out, or the game is a draw.
I think that this is just about all. Unless you can add more!!

Mobiles
Posted by Tim W on November 5, 2017
When using this website from my mobile phone, I have had difficulty accessing both of the side menus.
To assist with this problem I have added a page called “Mobile” to the top level menu, and have included links to our fixtures page, the Northumberland Chess Association & the ECF. Further links could be added if required.
