We were delighted to welcome GM Sergey Tiviakov to Snodland for a “simultaneous display”…..which Sergey won 26-0 !
Congratulations to Volodymyr Mylovanov, who won a prize for the best game.
Many thanks to everyone who took part, and to Kent County Council for providing funding to purchase the chess sets that were used.

Recently a fascinating Dutch documentary on Chess found its way onto YouTube.
Although in Dutch you can turn on the English subtitles by clicking on the little envelope icon at the bottom right of the video.
You can find the recent Chessbase article on the documentary here.
We’ve all played dreadful games. We’ve all blundered pieces, winning positions and rating points. But there’s hope. FM Steve Giddins brings our attention to a recent game played at the annual Wijk aan Zee tournament in the Netherlands.
Quite possibly the worst game ever played by two GMs rated 2700+, White capitulates in just 19 moves. The game can be replayed here
