On Saturday 8th June last year, we hosted our giant chess set launch event (purchased with funding from The Snodland Partnership), followed by some free, friendly blitz chess!

Starting at 1pm, 15-year-old IM Shreyas Royal (2586) played a rapidplay game on the giant set vs 14-year-old CM Stanley Badacsonyi (2347), followed by a rapidplay game vs 9-year-old Kushal Jakhria (2206). The giant set was then opened to general use.
