Hotel staff informed us yesterday that there's going to be a wedding in the room next door when the final round of the English Chess champs 😑 we've moved the round time forward from 1530 to 1200

Hugely proud of @SPTWchess Lionesses A team making their 4NCL Division 1 Debut, with @anishgiri joining in support of the She Plays To Win mission♟️
Eight players. One vision. One team. Come join the movement to give more girls the best opening move in life #AnishGiri
Fantastic start to the 2026/27 season @4NCL from my side in Division 1. Slight delay for some games in round 1 due to issues with the trains but I think @SPTWchess distracted from that with their board 1 being @anishgiri 😁 I didn't even know until I put the pairings up lol
