We are delighted to share some wonderful news from further afield.
Our club captain Gaston Franco has been awarded the title of National Master (Maestro Nacional) by the Argentine Chess Federation.
It is a thoroughly well-deserved recognition of Gaston’s strength, consistency and long-standing contribution to the game — and it will come as no surprise to anyone who has had the pleasure of playing him or being part of one of his teams.
Gaston is at the heart of Hammersmith Chess Club: a calm presence, a generous teammate, and a captain who always puts the club first.
From everyone at Hammersmith, congratulations Gaston!
Thanks David!
Legend. Congrats Gaston!!
