It wasn't perhaps the highlight of my tournament 🙂, but very impressed with Ruqayyah - not just her sensible play, but her reaction afterwards and contributions to the commentary. A fantastic achievement, and these 1st/2nd placings augur well for the future of English chess.

It’s official! 🎉

Our Women's team is trying to get their first win of the season, after some well earned draws against stronger clubs. 8 year-old superstar Charlotte won her game and new club member Swati was looking to convert her advantage on the top board!
