What day is it today? Why, I do believe it is ChessFest day! If you are in or around London today then come along to the outdoor event of the year. Take some pictures, post them on here and tag us in for retweets! Thanks to XTX Markets for their support of the event.

Took me a while, but I've finally completed my selection of priority lines for LTR: Jones's 1.e4 e5 @Chessable course. Toggle priority type to author selection and you'll get my condensed choices - I'd guess about 1/3rd the size. Hopefully useful for memorising key lines pre-game

In preparation for the 45th Chess Olympiad that will take place in Budapest in just over a month, we’ll highlight some of the countries and players to watch out for - many of whom are Chessable authors. Let's start with the UK 🧵:

15) All courses by UK authors are on sale! Read our Olympiad Spotlight on the UK here ▶️ chess.com/blog/Chessable…

Great to see Chessable's latest sale is on and during English Chess Federation (ECF)'s British Championships! Gawain Maroroa Jones, Simon Williams and many Chessable White Rose 4NCL players are in Hull! Their courses, like 64 Chess Concepts with Jonathan Rowson's fine video, and others are currently on discount! #chess

My first course not about openings just got published on Chessable ! Playing with dynamic compensation is a fascinating subject that has been a personal favorite of mine throughout my entire career - if it sounds interesting, please check it out!

The Chessable British Olympiad Spotlight #sale ends at midnight tomorrow (Saturday), so hurry if you're yet to get around to that course by Gawain Maroroa Jones, Daniel King, Simon Williams, burn those metal mother fookers to the ground, Natasha Regan or even Chessable White Rose 4NCL you've been meaning to buy! #chess

Time to promote my favourite Chessable course! Arjun Erigaisi played Gawain Maroroa Jones recommendation to against Sanan's Ruy Lopez in his e5 course:chessable.com/lifetime-reper… The game:lichess.org/broadcast/45th… Almost completely same as first 21 moves!! Arjun is really a legend!

Gawain Maroroa Jones instructing junior chess players at the Tech Mahindra Global Chess League in London. An exciting and memorable day for the children!

Fabulous day at #chessfest on Trafalgar Square. Lots of blitz, some simuls and a consultation blindfold game (spectacular!) with Gawain Maroroa Jones! Huge thanks to Malcolm Pein and all the volunteers for a brilliantly-run event!
