The Moyle Cup jamboree event moved for the first time to Plymouth this year at the invitation of Tony Tatam, Plymouth having won the trophy in 2025 at Newton Abbot. Seven teams took part with Plymouth being given dispensation to enter a third team given the ample available space and the demand for places in the Plymouth teams from their members - a good sign! Pairings between members of the same club were kept to a minimum, three between Plymouth players and one between Newton Abbot's. Two rounds at a rate of 80+10 were completed shortly after 5.30 p.m.

Welcome to the new DCCA website. It was my great privilege to take on the role of DCCA webmaster from Tim Paulden who did great work in modernising the site. This initial website retains the original content of Tim's site and has some added features that hopefully you will find of value.
- a DCCA calendar so you can see all the upcoming chess events
- a sitewide search facility
- links to social media like YouTube
- feature games and videos
- details of all team events and online entry form
The site is of course still evolving and it would be great to have your feedback on the site and any ideas you have for improving it so you can get more value out of it. You can send me feedback at
Please also remember to change any web bookmarks as the site's location has changed from devonchess.com to devonchess.org. The old link will work and redirect you to the new site for some time but it will eventually be switched off.
