The traditional Dorchester Jamboree took place at the Colliton Club, Dorchester on Thursday 22nd September and proved very enjoyable. 6 teams took part and it was a good battle between Poole and Highcliffe for the top spot with Poole just edging it.

Mark Potter (Dorchester), the organiser reports …

‘Very much fighting chess with only one game drawn and Bruce’s game was almost the last to finish with a battle to a standstill. The endgame resulted with Bruce having a N+P for R with a few other pawns knocking about.
Â
Poole performed fantastically well having lost one of its top players, Mike Duggan, due to illness, on the morning of the event.
Â
The key game between Highcliffe and Poole saw Zander Booth defeat Richard Ursell. I don’t know how old Zander is but he’s way, way too young to be beating somebody of Richard’s experience.’
