Dublin CC entered two teams in the inaugural online chess league which started in May. Our first team of four, captained by Martin Schmidt and playing in the Monday Summer league, won all of their eight matches to finish top of the table. Our second team, captained by Daniel Schlachter, played in the Tuesday Summer league and did not fare so well, finishing last. While an enjoyable experience during these Covid-19 times, these leagues were relatively ungraded and threw up too many games with large rating differences between the players.
