Membership
Camberley Chess Club online membership:

Our meetings have included analysing games, openings, puzzles, endgames, consultation matches, and inter club matches. Our chess professional special guest events have included IM Cyrus Lakdawala, IM Andrew Martin and IM Nigel Povah, and the UKs top two players GM Michael Adams and GM David Howell.
