So the Chess Challenge has been wrapped up for this year! There were 5 rapier fighters, with a Stormhold win. There were 8 heavy fighters, with Baron Leif the Heavy Chess Champion. The Chess Challenge Champion is Will from St Monica siding with Stormhold in a hard fought game of Chess again the Krae Glas Challenger Benjamin. Huzzah to all who fought in this competition between the baronies! My many thanks go to Lady Medb for helping me with the paperwork and taking of money, Sir Hanbal for being MiC, all the Marshals that helped on the day (Jon, Margie, Seumas and everyone else that I missed), and Baroness Ute for her tourney heraldry. Thanks to all that attended. I truly never thought my idea of the Chess Challenge would become such a fixture in our calendars when I thought I up all those years ago. I have no doubt that the Challenge will continue to do so, but would love to see how it can be improved! I'm happy to discuss the event with anyone interested & even help them if any good gentle would like to try to run the event themselves. Now onward to Rowany Festival & the William Marshal Memorial event! Yours, Miriam bat Shimeon Event steward
