@Chess_Fest 2025 London, organised by @schoolschess was great for so many reasons. One of them is to meet old friends before, during and after the event. We usually meet online, but nothing beats the in-person fun. 😎Can you spot four of the ECU EDU members in the pictures?

Played a tournament this evening:

Very pleased to see the government continuing the £1million investment in chess that we launched when I was Prime Minister. Chess isn’t just a great game. It also builds the kind of skills young people need to thrive in an increasingly complex and competitive world.

🎉 The London Strategy Games Festival was a huge success! So many fab games to learn & play & expert talks. I didn't manage everything on my list but it was still perfect. I think we need a children's games festival 😉 @FrascoSal92 @ChessScholar Well done to you & all!👏

"Deep Champions" win not just League Division 1 and the League Knockout Cup, they also win Division 2. Imagine doing that for more than one league in the same season. #DeepChampions #Surrey #ThamesValley #London

No book on records in chess should miss the incredible performance of Kingston Chess Club in winning 8 separate competitions this season. We are the deep champions of Surrey, Thames Valley and London.
