06.01.2022 The Springfield Ipswich Chess Club is humbled and proud in knowing that we are following the steps of chess giants in the area. One such giant was Mr. Gruber Karl. An Austrian born chess player who successfully played in the old Ipswich Chess Club some fifty years ago between 1960 and 1969. Sadly, he passed away on Sunday 1st March 2020. We pass our condolences to his family and friends. If anybody who reads this post knows something about Gruber Karl and would like share it please feel welcome to do so.
