FM Stanley Badacsonyi squeezed blood from a stone to move 2/2 with this win against Jon Manley. Good to see him putting on a strong showring. His brother Frankie was defeated by GM Shreyas Royal, special guest of tomorrow's Meltham and Denby Dale Chess Club charity marathon! #chess #englishchess

Jude Shearsby played brilliantly today against Nikita Vitiugov, rated 400 points higher…. Was unlucky not to hold the draw after finding so many excellent moves. Stanley did well to get a draw, but was sad not to have found the winning moves against Peter Roberson. Wishing these

allison badacsonyi Tremendous from them both. It was a great win for Jude vs Brandon Clarke

Congratulations to Daniel Fernandez on winning the Gent Open 2025

FM Jude Shearsby! A stunning victory against IM Brandon Clarke today catapulted 15 year old Jude’s rating over 2300. Absolutely brilliant, and very well deserved.

One thing you've got to admit is that juniors like Banerjee and Royal are having epic tournaments. Great to see Coventry's Jude Shearsby get FM. Believe he is in state school like many of the Sharks were. Well done to his parents and Paul Lam whom invested a lot English Chess Federation (ECF)

Sharks 4NCL 🇺🇦 English Chess Federation (ECF) I echo what you say here. I first saw Jude as a little nipper, and his mum, Paul and others were always incredibly supportive and believed in him. He is a likeable lad above all, and very talented to boot. I wish him every success.

allison badacsonyi Thank you. Very kind, but it was just some prep that worked out well. Unlike me, Stanley can meet with triumph and disaster and treat those two imposters just the same. He is a credit to you.
