In fact, all four English players won in todays round of the London Chess Classic. GM Gawain Jones beat GM Ahbimanyu Mishra in a very intriguing endgame in a day that saw the scoreboard look much brighter for the English contingent! #chess #englishchess

Words of wisdom: "I don't mind who I compete against, I only care about the game," Bodhana Sivanandan tells the BBC after her victory at the UK Women's Blitz Championship - great article from the BBC https://t.co/8fYNHuLFrX

Congratulations to both winners! Both @NatashaRegan123 and I really enjoyed watching them play this afternoon!
