Tonight we delivered the last two CSC webinars of Series Three. That makes it 24 webinars over the course of just four weeks; a monumental task but a hugely successful one, thanks to my assistants Catherine, Esther and Jo, all of whom took their respective turns in the hot seat.

I had a fantastic day today at HM Prison Littlehey. Very well attended and sone great chess games. Report to come.

Catherine and I delivered a full day of chess at a new school (for us) yesterday: Ingleby Mill Primary School. We worked with nine classes, all the way from Year 3 to Year 6. Additionally, we were reunited with the one and only Andy Ruffell, the school’s Deputy Head Teacher.
