Kidsgrove have begun playing matches . This is despite no face to face activity due to the continuing COVID restrictions. This is due to an online chess competition being set up by Crewe Chess Club. This uses the online chess product called "LICHESS" which is free to download. The club played its first match online against Crewe . Crewe were victorious 6-2. However it was a new experience and the club will take part in further matches in the coming weeks.
