Player Profiles and Player Photograph's
| Player | Grade | Profile |
| Jimmy "the grinder" Simpson | 190 | 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. |
| Colin "swamp" Walton | 185 | 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. |
| Mike "black is ok" Fenton | 158 | 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 | 145 | 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 | 132 | 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 | 131 | 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 | 107 | 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 | 97 | 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 | 83 | 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 | 80 | 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 | 27 | 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 | U/G | 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 | U/G | 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 | U/G | Paul has been with us only a short time, but has already shown great potential by beating some established players. |
| Alan "U-Bend" Martin | U/G | Our latest member Alan shows great potential too, practise and experience is all he needs. At this rate Peterlee may put out a B-Team next season! |
