Seaton Chess Club held its very first Rapidplay chess tournament in Axmouth Village Hall, Devon on Sat 16th September 2023.
This was a remarkable milestone in the club's history and only made possible through the kind support of Ray Hunt, one the club's long-standing members who sadly passed away this year. A unique trophy for the event was commissioned in his memory following the Jurassic theme and adapted from Orthoceras fossils.
The event was won by Patryk Krzyzanowski with 5.5/6. 2nd was local Seaton Chess Club member Paul Hampton with 5/6 and 3rd was Ian Thompson with 4.5/6.
