Some of our stronger players took part in the London Chess Classic at the Emirates Stadium last weekend.
There were blitz and rapid plays that were running alongside the week-long Elite tournaments featuring some of the world's top players.
Well done to everyone who took part - there were some great individual performances and it was an excellent day out.
Former CJCC player FM Max Pert won the Sunday rapid play with 7/7 (beating GM Georg Meier in the last round).
Thank you to George Scola who organised a rolling 6-board simultaneous match this week.
George - Year 11 - is a coach and mentor to many of the juniors.
Jacob's draw in the final game to finish gave the rotating CJCC team a 9.5/8.5 victory.
On the demo board, Ethan showed Legal's Mate while Digby and Joshua shared some lines in the Stafford Gambit.
Juniors of all ages sharing their skills is part of the ethos of the club and benefits everyone.
Best Wishes

Dyuthi was part of a London Womens Chess Club team that played at the House of Parliament this week against their chess team (and won her two games).
This was another busy and fun morning at the club. Great to welcome some more new members.
There are some photos here of the (mostly) older half of the club.

We had a busy morning at the club on 14th September.
Joshua B and Jacob were playing in the Essex Rapid and Blitz Championships - well done to both of them - but it was great to welcome Finley, Linfei, Linlin, Teddy, Gabrielle, Deshauna and Kairah.
