A great chess weekend

What a great weekend of chess that was. Saturday saw a full junior club.

On Sunday, I took some Brentwood School students up to London for the Global Chess League where we met Misha from CJCC and a couple of other Essex juniors.

What a fabulous chance to see some of the world's strongest chess players playing in person.
