Great to see this Coventry schools chess activity ahead of the 2026 British Chess Championships. ♟️

Fantastic work by everyone involved.

[Chess in Schools and Communities @schoolschess]

As part of the build-up to the British Championships, CSC partnered with Coventry City Council, Sports Games, and the English Chess Federation to run a series of tournaments aimed at getting more chess played in local schools.

Here is a report:

Every chess player finds defeats hurtful.

It is not always easy to maintain one’s dignity but the World Champion keeps setting the example.

MAGNUS vs. GUKESH - 1 Year Later at the SAME TOURNAMENT! 🥶

[David Howell @DavidHowellGM]

Big day coming up! Including Gukesh vs Carlsen 🔥 Join us today for Round 4 of Norway Chess. It’s gonna be smashing!

Chess tournaments used to be very different to those we see today.

[Douglas Griffin @dgriffinchess]

I do miss the days of long tournaments but I think I'd have drawn the line at this, which lasted 8 weeks(!). Organised to mark 50 yrs of Emperor Franz Joseph I on the throne of Austria-Hungary.
Tarrasch won a playoff match v. Pillsbury 2½-1½. Needless to say, it wasn't blitz.

[Chess in Schools and Communities @schoolschess]

@dgriffinchess Probably the best of Tarrasch’s successes.

Some of the players went on to play in the strong Cologne tournament shortly afterwards.

@AndrewC42711235 @ECFonlinechess That all sounds very interesting.

I hope the foreword gives a glowing impression of the book to come!

Superb day Richard and thank you for giving your fantastic simul against 30 players on a very hot day.
In a world of negativity, we made our own joy and chess as ever won the day.

[Chess in Schools and Communities @schoolschess]

This must have been an excellent day and event; well done, everyone!

[Richard Palliser @richardpalliser]

A great day for #chess in Kenilworth yesterday! The Mayor, Alison Insley, made a very welcome appearance, pictured alongside sterling organisers @Carl_Portman @GreenBGambit. Was a long day (talk and simul), but great fun. Good warm-up too for July 12th, @Chess_Fest!

Sign him up!

Eberechi Eze impressed England’s chess Team manager with just one move😂… That was smooth😂😂

[Chess in Schools and Communities @schoolschess]

Colourful help is at hand from @logiqBoard for anyone struggling to master the coordinates of the chess board.

[LogiqBoard @logiqBoard]

Our new feature 'Texting on LogiqBoard' is fab for learning about co-ordinates.

Click on the top right icon in the tool box & type co-ordinates, numbers, letters, words or even emoji's! Choose the shape & colour 🤩
We'll be sharing puzzles and tasks in the next few days 👀

[Chess in Schools and Communities @schoolschess]

A big change for the second leg of the tournament.

[chess24 @chess24com]

Alireza Firouzja played 2 games from a hotel bed, but has now decided to withdraw from the Super Chess Classic! His results stand, while his remaining 4 opponents get forfeit wins: https://t.co/NqYNbt4teo

Only Max Euwe could overheat with such coolness.

[Douglas Griffin @dgriffinchess]

Born 125 years ago today in Amsterdam - the 5th World Champion, Max Euwe (1901-1981).
Pictured here in play at Nottingam, 1936.

It is good when players can laugh at de-feet.

Or even at de-draw.

[Grand Chess Tour @GrandChessTour]

Alireza Firouzja speaks about his decision to continue playing in Bucharest and reflects on his Round 5 game against Javokhir Sindarov at the 2026 Super Chess Classic Romania.
