Having opened for entries less than a fortnight ago, the Bury St Edmunds Chess Congress (15 & 16 October) is already more than half-full. See the line-up at bsecongress.org/entrants and join them here bsecongress.org/enter-here.

Anyone else remember how back in 1997 Garry Kasparov wondered if Deep Blue (the chess engine) had cheated by having outside human assistance? Crazy how things have changed in 25 years! #Chess

Nearly ready for day two at the Bury St Edmunds Congress. bsecongress.org

It's been a busy few weeks since we opened the entries for the Bury St Edmunds #Chess Congress (7 & 8 October)... We're already over three-quarters full. You can check the current line-up on the website at bsecongress.org/entrants.

IM Alan Merry took almost 4 hours to overcome the defenses of impressive 9-year-old Supratit Banerjee in round 3 of the Bury St Edmunds Congress. Banerjee is certainly one to watch. English Chess Federation (ECF)

The Pert dynasty occupy boards 1 to 3 in the final round at the Bury St Edmunds Congress. IM Richard Pert on Bd1, WCM Nina Pert on Bd2 and Max Pert, just visible on the right, on Bd3.

Deeply upsetting #chess board featured in the local news: google.com/amp/s/www.suff… Still, I guess this still counts as publicity for our favourite game.

The Bury St Edmunds #Chess Congress is open for entries. Actually we've been open for around two weeks ... and we're already at 60+ entrants, with a maximum capacity of 118. You can join via bsecongress.org.

Results from last weekend's Bury St Edmunds Chess Congress can be found on the event website: bsecongress.org/tournament/res…. Many thanks to all who helped make it a success again this year, especially Chess & Bridge: London Chess Centre for supplying all our equipment.
