Honoured to do so and the support will continue for as long as it has to. @schoolschess @ecfchess
Really happy to see Ukrainian players at the London Chess Classic again! Vasyl Ivanchuk and Ihor Samunenkov in the Masters, and European Champion Roman Dehtiarov from Kharkiv in the Challengers.
The English Chess Federation has supported Ukrainian chess players like no other since the beginning of the full scale war! 🇺🇦👏 @xtxmarkets @london_chess

Another fantastic win by Bodhana leading the Women's team to 4-0 v Australia today. Thanks for covering it @EngChessTrack

How the England Open team fares against strong teams like Georgia has often been a litmus test of our overall form. Great to see Luke McShane keep control in a tense and pivotal time scramble today. Congrats to the women too on a smooth win, with Bodhana moving to a superb 4.5/5!

💡Anthony Miles was the first Englishman to become a chess grandmaster.
He was also master swindler, not just saving but even winning seemingly lost games.
Can you see the combination he saw in this game?🤔

Bodhana is always a joy to chat with
11-year-old Bodhana Sivanandan, Board 1 for England:
"In the 1st #ChessOlympiad I was the reserve player, and this time I’m the 1st board player, so it’s the opposite end of the table, but I’m still here to enjoy the Olympiad and playing people from all over the world!"

Beyond proud!!! 🎉🤩
Our student Prin Laohawirapap beat Top 10 GM Arjun Erigaisi, today, on day one of the Chess Olympiad! 🚀
Prin’s journey is so special to us.
It’s truly emotional to see how far this kid has come, from taking chess lessons in the hospital to becoming Thailand’s first International Master... We watched him grow up, get stronger, and become the player he is today ❤️
Keep going, Prin! 🥳
