Some of East Anglia's top chess players faced off across chequered boards at a 'blitz chess' tournament in Sheringham to mark a club's centenary.

Ieysaa Bin-Suhayl from Broadland Chess Club won a 'championship' section - and was awarded the Greg Tebble Cup - after an exciting play-off against Martin Walker from Norwich Dons Chess Club.

Thirty players took part in the tournament at the Morley Club - a sports and social club in Cromer Road - which was founded in 1920.

David May from St John’s Chess Club, Norwich, won a 'challengers' section and the top scoring North Norfolk Chess Club players were Robin Blackwell, Alex Evans and Jack Evans.

Tony Larner, north Norfolk club member, said: “We are very pleased how the event went and are particularly grateful for the support provided by The Morley Club today and for our regular Friday evening club nights.”
