Doubles are hugely popular
with juniors throughout the world. In this variation of chess, two
players compete as a team, passing all pieces won from their
opponents to their partner. Players can add pieces to the board when
it is their turn to play, and skip a move.
On Saturday, 12th November, 2005,
Aberdeen Chess Academy staged the first annual Doubles Championship
to be held in Scotland. 29 teams took part in this fun event, with
all partnerships choosing a team name prior to start of play. A
prize was awarded to the team choosing the most interesting name,
which went to ‘The Optimists’ – an appropriate title for most chess
players!
The event was won by team ‘ConRick’, the
partnership of Connor Melville and Ricky Dickson, who scored 5/5.
Runners-up were the ‘Dark Magicians’. Everyone who played enjoyed
this novel tournament and agreed that it was a great addition to the
chess calendar.
