@tolulope_dom @EmilSutovsky @TelegraphChess Malcolm gives very impressive and detailed answers. He would be an amazing Deputy-President.

He genuinely seems to care about the world of chess, and not about his own or his friends personal interest.

It would end nepotism and unacceptable behaviour towards women within FIDE.

@steveeddleston @TsuiAllen @schoolschess As soon as possible! We don’t want to make any promises just yet but fingers crossed in August

[The Chess Shop @TheChessShopUK]

@steveeddleston @TsuiAllen @schoolschess This particular folding board folds 4 ways so both vertically and horizontally to fit into a smaller square box. Indeed all our other boards fold once in half as you describe 😀♟

@TsuiAllen @schoolschess ❤️🙏

[Allen Tsui @TsuiAllen]

My family and I absolutely ❤️ our @ChessAndBridge #Tournament set. The pieces are both a fantastic quality and decent weight. If I had the cash, every @schoolschess would get 15 sets...
