Tonight, Epsom Chess Club is running a special 'Bonjour Blitz' event at Bonjour Café in Epsom. Participants will be battling to take home the esteemed 'Flewellen-Skinner Cup'. This is its second edition, after last year's inaugural event was won by James Pooler (pictured).

Tomorrow, Epsom 2 host Ashtead 1 in a local derby at The Fellowship alongside two other Surrey League matches. It has been a positive start to the season so far, so we're hoping this will continue. (Photo taken from last year's encounter at Ashtead)

A few too many draws for a norm but in a field stacked with GMs and IMs, Stanley held his own in the GM Mix Swiss in Sarajevo. Gained some rating to take his live FIDE to 2353. Glad to have him home! English Championships next @ecfchess @EngChessTrack @TelegraphChess @chessdom @CHESS_Magazine
