Older Players at CJCC

Chelmsford Junior Chess Club splits into two halves based on age. 

Just as in the younger half, the older players range from experienced tournament competitors to those just starting off. 

Also just as with the younger half, we look at some chess together as a group. 

Today it was a prodigy vs legend match between GM Abhimanyu Mishra (14) and GM Vassily Ivanchuk (54). 

You can catch the game here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ajyMoQm428 - on PwerPlay Chess (my favourite way to enjoy top level chess).
