May 23rd will see us head over to our friends (or bloodthirsty rivals?) at @AshtonChess, who are hosting a rapid tournament for our clubs to do battle once more! With seven rounds of chess, and lunch, it promises to be fantastic #chess

It was civil war midweek. Our Team D took down Team C in the Team Knockout Contest. Well done to them; they face Huddersfield B in the final. #chess #englishchess

@AshtonChess Qd2 - attacking the rook and queen. Queen can't take due to backrank issues.

Ahead of tomorrow's Epsom Chess Club AGM, we are pleased to announce that club president Marcus Gosling and club secretary David Flewellen are now officially listed as ECF arbiters following their successful passing of the exam last month.
We continue to stride forward.

@EndgameaiChess hmmm... doubt it will be that easy.

Feels weird not having an elite tournament to watch today! Been some great streams these past couple of weeks with Carlsen, Gukesh et al. #chess

@steveeddleston @markklfc I was surprised by John Stones after only 9 apps this season

It was another combination of chess and food at the Vanilla Bean as our ladder competition continued into June. #chess

Last night, we held our Thursday club night at Denby Dale Community Library for the first time, and we loved it! Thanks so much to the volunteers who came to lock and unlock the building for us, and thanks also to everyone who attended - what a perfect space for chess! #chess

In the 90's computers competed with elite chess players, in the 00's, they overtook, but humans combined with computers was best for outcomes, but by the 2010's, humans were redundant. It will be the same with AGI. Very thought provoking! https://t.co/suUiQuJc7u

Top notch

Gukesh could become the first 2600 world chess champion since Spassky.

[Meltham and Denby Dale Chess Club @MaDDChess]

@eternalhopeoaks What do you think has gone wrong for him?

[Meltham and Denby Dale Chess Club @MaDDChess]

@GMAlexColovic Wherever Carlsen is, the attention is. For a while longer, at least.
