Player Grade Profile
Colin "rybka" 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! Mr Consistent can always be relied upon to bring home the point
Mike "black is ok" Fenton 173 A player with a great feel for the position, seems to choose the best option in most games. 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 "bloodvessel" Smith 153 Yours truly, I have a great penchant for gambits of all variations, in the same way I have a love of beer, food and football.
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 If his chess was a football team the formation would be 1-1-9. Guard the f7 square with your life as some way some how, he will find a way to put a knight there.
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 2003/04/ 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.
Paul "Programmes" Freeman 100e Paul doesn't say much, he does his talking on the chess board, with a direct style that keeps his opponents guessing. He's improving all the time which is great for PCC.
Alan "U-Bend" Martin 90e You've heard of the 'Tartan army' well with three kids Alan has his own called the 'Martin Army' so his chess time is very limited. With more games and practise under his belt Alan will show a massive improvement.
Fred "On holiday" Hughes 115e  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! 
Colin "On the buses" Forster 105e Rarely is a man so keen to improve, and with that level of interest he will only become an excellent player in a year or two.
Jack "Superhod" Boxall 80e Jackie, like his brother Kenny is great entertainment value, he can also play some decent chess, with a prolonged attendance at the club he'll only get better!
Matt "Party with a C" Carty 110e  Our latest member, Matty has shown great potential in already beating some of the regulars, it looks good for him and PCC next season.
