Nothing to see here...
just the Docklands Rapid, Mind Sports Centre Rapid, The Chess Circuit Podcast and an AMAZING game!
Believe it or not, I am not running any chess tournaments this weekend! However, there is plenty of chess going on. On Saturday 26th you can play in the regular Docklands rapid tournament in Poplar, run by Norman Went - if you do then say hello to my colleague Rob Hammond of Chessville, who will be playing!
On Sunday 27th you can take part in the Mind Sports Centre in Hammersmith where my colleague and professional trombone player Lance Leslie-Smith will be running a FIDE rapid from 11am.
I will still be busy - I am recording an interview with Ben Graff for our podcast, where we will be talking about his new book Checkmate, and discussing why you should all buy a copy as a present for your chess-playing friends this Xmas!
At the recent Central London Congress (aka Imperial College Congress) Peter Lalic won the best game prize for this stunning game in Round 3. It was then featured as game of the day on chessgames.com!
