Glossop CC only started in 2021 and last weekend they staged their first congress! 👋 It began with a talk by @NatashaRegan123 and Matt Ball, then saw two competitive sections, with Andrew Ledger & Maksym Larchikov sharing first in the Open (photos: Brendan O'Gorman). #chess

A popular feature in our July issue was 60 Seconds with. the inspirational Gene Salomon, who is still enjoying his chess at the age of 97! Lots of illuminating answers too in our August 60 Seconds, from Andrew Greet, Chief Editor at @QualityChess & 2025 Scottish Champion! #chess

Our August issue is at the printer, featuring @TelegraphChess on the big funding announcement from @RachelReevesMP, as well as @Chess_Fest! @ginger_gm was ringside at @NorwayChess, @Juniortayzzz covers Perfect Prep, @GreenBGambit on @MickeyAdamsGM, @NatashaRegan123 & more! #chess.

Final round of the @ecfchess & @ECFonlinechess organised English Championships at 10am tomorrow. All to play for in the Women's event, while in the Open @MickeyAdamsGM leads Nikita Vitiugov and Matthew Wadsworth by half a point! It could be an exciting last round! #chess.

Play is underway at the @ecfchess Championships in Kenilworth! Vitiugov, @MickeyAdamsGM, @GMGawain headline! Games on @lichess and elsewhere. And if you're in or near Derbyshire, it's the 1st Glossop Congress this weekend, opened by a talk from @NatashaRegan123 tonight! #chess.

And @Chess_Fest 2025 is underway in Portishead - with @ChessMike! If you're anywhere near Bristol, do pop down until 4pm! Events in Hull and especially Trafalgar Square tomorrow, noon-7pm! It will be warm, busy - especially with the living chess - full of chess, and fun! #chess

What else is in our July issue? Lots! @Carl_Portman pays tribute to Vlastimil Hort, we discover that you can be addicted to the Grob (yes, really!), Inspector Gledd returns, @johnchess recalls the 1970s, @CSCTeesside reviews @ilan_ruby and @McFarlandCoPub books, and more! #chess.

👇 Yes, our July issue is out and available from @ChessAndBridge! As well as the latest from @TelegraphChess, you may well enjoy Neil Hickman on Vidmar-Yates - yes, that game, @gmmds! - Gary Haines on chess in WW1 or that James Plaskett is still playing spectacular games! #chess.

Our July pages are at the printer! After his success in the @GrandChessTour at Bucharest, @rpraggnachess is on the cover. Inside @TelegraphChess gives the inside story of #FIDERapidBlitzTeams, while star commentator there, @DanielKingChess, presents a fine win by Ivanchuk! #chess

And @thelittlehat and @DanielKingChess are back as the Blitz gets underway! After three exciting days of @FIDE_chess Team Rapid, ones we doubt @GSharks4NCL and their skipper Ben Purton will forget in a hurry! Enjoy the blitz, with Nepo now there! #chess.

And we're underway in the big @FIDE_chess event, #FIDERapidBlitzTeams! Live commentary from @thelittlehat & @DanielKingChess! London-based Sassy Seniors - go @NatashaRegan123! - are up against the might of @WadimRosenstein's WR troops in round one! Three more rounds today! #chess.

Players will be arriving in London today for #FIDERapidBlitzTeams. Look out for several talented young Brits! People like Steve Rigby of 3Cs do much for our junior chess season and Steve has now been awarded with his British Empire Medal! Photo: Alan Burke.

Our June magazine is out and available from @ChessAndBridge! Copies will ideally reach subscribers over the next week or so. Ju Wenjun is on the cover, with @DanielKingChess featuring a Ju win in his popular HGIYC feature! Look out too for 60 Seconds with. @GothamChess! #chess

Great to see @ginger_gm back at @NorwayChess as part of the @TakeTakeTakeApp team! Simon must have been delighted when Magnus went 1 d4 Nf6 2 Nc3 d5 3 Bf4. If you're unsure who coined the name 'Jobava London'. 👇 Enjoy Norway and @ECFonlinechess's Cambridge International! #chess.

Tonight the man on the cover of our May magazine, @GothamChess, will be appearing in London! And tomorrow he'll be signing copies of his How to Win at Chess at @ChessAndBridge! Look out too for an excellent 60 Seconds with GothamChess, aka Levy Rozman, in our June pages! #chess

On the left, we have Frank Marshall's 22. Rxh3!, teeing up his famous 23 Rc5 Qg3!!, as covered by @GreenBGambit in our May pages; on the right, Sochacki-Kozin and 25. Rh3! from Byron Jacobs' forthcoming @thetimes Chess Winning Moves, with a foreword from @DavidHowellGM! #chess

That huge result for @GSharks4NCL yesterday, defeating Wood Green 4.5-3.5, means that the @4NCL title has gone to Manx, but bragging rights still up for grabs in today's big match! Pretty tense so far. Manx will be hoping Harry Grieve can get somewhere after pushing 14 e5. #chess

Impressive draw for @GSharks4NCL with Manx yesterday @4NCL. Big wins for @LozHCooper's Wood Green, @WhiteRoseChess & Barbican. Manx now just one point ahead of Wood Green! Final games at 1pm today and 11am tomorrow. Let's hope for more like Parligras 0-1 Moreby! Crushing. #chess

Our May magazine has started arriving with subscribers and is, of course, available from @ChessAndBridge! Inside look out for @ginger_gm on the Godinn Open, while Matthew Wadsworth explains how he became a GM at Bad Wörishofen plus @DanielKingChess, @Carl_Portman and more! #chess.

Some great chess so far in @ecfchess Seniors Championships! @NatashaRegan123 produced a sparkling attack in that old @gmmds favourite, the QGA, to crush Mark Hebden and Aldritt-Wells was also very nice. Look out for 17. h5! from @GMPeteWells! #chess
