Suffolk Chess

Suffolk League's Division 1 currently looks a bit distorted, with some teams having played two matches more than others.   Joint leaders are two Ipswich teams, C and A, on 12½ points.   However, Ipswich C have only played five matches, to Ipswich A's six.   Not far behind are Manningtree A, unbeaten this season but have only played four matches, with 10½ points.

At the other end of the table, Bury St Edmunds C recorded their first result last week, drawing against Ipswich A.   However, they remain in last place on 7 points.

At this stage of the season, it looks as if almost any team could win the title.

Shaun Munson (Ipswich A) is leading the individual listing, with an unbeaten 5/6.   Close behind are Ted Matthewson (Ipswich C) and Nick Savage (Ipswich A) on 4/5.
