Player Grade Profile
Colin "swamp" Walton 206 Back into regular league chess, the swamp attack has been unleashed once again. A tactical beast, he's like Fritz running on a Commodore 64.
Jimmy "the grinder" Simpson 199 Grinds out wins from seemingly 'dead drawn' positions. Its a draw when HE SAYS ITS A DRAW! He's played some of the best players in the world Polgar, Gufeld, and ex British champion Rowson to name a few.
Mike "black is ok" Fenton 173 Never gets beat but his grade never rises? A mad SAFC supporter who fits right in to the Peterlee Club ethos. Its not very often you come across a player who is equally as good (if not better) with Black than White.
David "maverick" Armbruster 152 No longer the baby of the club, 'Pretty Boy Monthly' have cancelled his six figure contract. Has took up Poker recently to supplement his wages!
Collin "ate the pies" Smith 153 Yours truly, Wood-Butcher by trade, Wood-Pusher at chess. Seventeen stones of solid gristle, er... muscle. (yes I have put on weight, piss off!) I'm also the winner of "Worst move of the year 2007"
Stephen "too tall" Carter 155 He's 19ft tall, and its so cold at his summit the hair on his napper has frozen off! He's a solid technician, and very hard to beat. Has of late developed a more risky edge to his game and the wins have followed.
Kenny "the vitch" Boxall 121 The ex-eastern block GM's names all end in 'ov' or 'vitch' And after a nice win some time ago he said (about himself) "I played like Kenny Boxallivitch there!" The name has stuck. He's also the worlds laziest man.
John "Nxf7" Reddington 136 I must have played John at least a dozen times as Black and without exception he's sacrificed a Knight on f7, I'm powerless to prevent it no matter what I play?! If his chess was a football team the formation would be 1-1-9.
Ray "the sink" Brown 117 One of a few select players who can claim that after 10 pints of beer his play improves beyond recognition! Drunkard of the year winner 2000/01/02/03/04/ 05/06/07/08/09/10/ etc, you get the picture?
Bill "the captain" McGregor 100 Club stalwart, he is 'Mr Peterlee' a member since 1973, he's been here so long he's on first name terms with the pieces! Some say he's older and wiser than Yoda, others just say he's an old b*****d!
Ian "I missed that" Hunter 80e Plays like a Grandmaster for 20 moves, then misses a 'one move combination' which generally loses his Queen or worse the game, which is then followed by much cursing of the opponent, and sorrow drowning.
Tom "one game" Howley 80e He quietly enters the room, plays 'one game' then vanishes in a puff of smoke, occasionally he doesn't even sit down, just pops his head through the door and says "I'm off"
David "Peter" Cushing 91 Apprentice mathematician, 'Big Dave' is still at the learning stage in his chess career, and we're glad to have him on board.
Paul "Programmes" Freeman 90e Paul has been with us only a short time, but has already shown great potential by beating some established players. He's chomping at the bit to get started this season.
Alan "U-Bend" Martin 90e Our latest member Alan shows great potential too, he has more hobbies than the rest of us put together! Practise and experience is all he needs. At this rate Peterlee may put out a B-Team next season!
Fred "On holiday" Hughes 110e  Fred has had a four or five year sabbatical from chess, but has come back revitalized and ready to show the 'daft young uns' how to go on!
