Penrith player Alice Lampard has distinguished herself in the recent Chess Olympiad in Uzbekistan. Representing the Scotland Women's team, she top scored for her team with 6/9, and earned herself a Women Fide Master (WFM) title in the process. Surely the best ever performance by a Cumbrian player at an Olympiad, and perhaps the only one? Comment from Barry Hymer
