The 2012 Södermalm AFC Chess Championship took place last Friday night 23rd November at the now familiar Liljeholms-lokal.
Brissles with long-term coach Gary Kasparov
The night began with a panic as some of the boys forgot to bring a chess board, however a late scramble and door-knock of the area produced a 50 yr old Russian set with delicately hand-crafted pieces that became a talking point of the night.
Here are the dates for next year from AFL Sweden.
Although Jönköping doesn’t have a team, both the indoor cup and Sweden Cup will be held there in order to facilitate travelling for all clubs. Of course Södermalm wants to represent at both events.

Bluey got a free ride home after the presentation night.
The blue-ribbon blue-tie event on the Södermalm AFC calendar – the Söder Awards Night – was held last Friday 2nd November and once again proved a great success as over 25 people decked-out in double-blue colours filled club sponsor O’leary’s in Liljeholmen. One of the highlights of the night was that everyone finally met club mascot Bluey Svensson who had returned from his latest sailing expedition to reveal his true identity and share a few tall-stories from the sea.
