Chris Lamming

Chris Lamming is an English tournament organizer based in Somerset, United Kingdom. Over the years, he has become closely associated with well-run weekend congresses in the South West. As a result, players often recognize his events for clear communication and consistent logistics.

In addition, he serves as the organizer of the Frome Chess Congress, including the 35th edition, staged at Selwood Academy in Frome. The congress is delivered as an open chess tournament weekend with sections for different strengths and a focus on reliable scheduling. Moreover, the event supports FIDE-rated tournament and ECF-rated play, depending on section and eligibility, which makes it attractive for serious competitors.

Furthermore, Chris is also listed as the contact for Trowbridge Chess Club, which reflects an ongoing role in local chess administration. For example, his work supports both classical chess congress play and club activity that helps players prepare for league and weekend events. Consequently, he remains a practical point of contact for players seeking rapid chess or blitz chess opportunities in the wider Somerset chess community.
