Middlesex League

About the League

The Middlesex League is an adult chess league. We play matches weekday evenings – Monday to Thursday. Fixtures are both home and away, with home fixtures being played from 7.30-10pm at the Hendon Chess Club venue in Hampstead. Playing against adults is a vital way to improve your child’s chess. We have a team playing currently in Division 3 against teams that are – on paper – stronger than our juniors. Despite this, there have been some spectacular wins and the team has performed beyond expectations. When we first joined the league, we were performing at an average rating of 1442. Just 3 months later that average had increased to 1735.
