Dear chess fans,
ChessFest would like to invite all chess fans, their friends and families to join us at Trafalgar Square this Sunday, 16th July, from 11am-6pm. All events are COMPLETELY FREE, and there is no need to book ahead, simply come along and join in the fun!
We will once again have a living chess set - with 32 professional actors taking on the role of the chess pieces - they will be doing a number of performances throughout the day, including recreations of some of the best games played by our celebrity chess masters.
We are proud to announce that GM David Howell, GM Michael Adams, GM Gawain Jones, GM Stuart Conquest, GM Ravi Haria, IM Harriet Hunt and many other titled players will be joining us on the day and will be taking on members of the public in simultaneous displays and in our "Challenge the Chess Master" tent.
