League Chess
If it is competitive chess you’re after then you’ve come to the right place! Last season (2023-24) we had three squads participating in the Calderdale Chess League and four in the Rapidplay League. Our ‘A Team’ won the League title in 2022-23 and also won it in 2011-12, 2012-13, 2018-19 and 2021-22. We also won the Rapidplay League in 2022-23 and are also the current holders of the Team Lightning Chess title.
In August 2018, members of The Golden Lion chess team in Todmorden merged with Hebden Bridge Chess Club and in that 2017-18 year, they retained the League 1 title they won as Todmorden ‘A’ in 2014-15, 2015-16 and 2016-17 . Due to the COVID pandemic and resulting changes to the League structure, we have now merged Golden Lion players with the rest of Hebden Bridge chess club and all our teams play their home fixtures at the Trades Club.
