    Södermalm chess club

    Södermalm club awards night is only a few days away, Fri 28th of Oct, 19.00 at our sponsor pub O’Learys Liljehomen, but we are already looking ahead towards the end of next month, when the prestigeous Chess night is being held. Reigning Södermalm chess champion Brissles, with two consecutive wins, is organizing this years event in his föreningslokal the 25th of Nov, in combination with a beer tasting. The selestion is a well kept secret, but it has been made clear that Harboe pils, by some referred to as Harboe p**s, will not be the drink of choice again.

    Beforehand roumors talk about a repeat of the classic 2009 Max vs. Ryan game, with Ryan looking for revenge for his abrupt 3-move loss.
