The Mersey Leagues are getting bigger and better; more schools are taking part than ever before. Great to see our new tutor, Chris, in action with kids from Runnymede and Monksdown schools during the competition! 😊❤️

The British Chess championships really sparked a huge response from schools, libraries and youth projects, which means we need even more tutors. Go here, chessinschools.co.uk/become-… then go here: chessinschools.co.uk/trainin…

Man, that’s a big loss to chess.. a great contributor, and a great player. True Russian.. even if you disagree with his politics RIP
RIP Boris Vasilievich Spassky
One of the most talented players of his generation, the 10th World Champion Boris Spassky has passed away at the age of 88.
Spassky was considered a chess prodigy. He attained the Grandmaster title at the age of 18 and made his debut in the Candidates Tournament (Amsterdam, 1956) at 19.
After defeating Keres (1965), Geller (1965), and Tal (1965) in Candidates matches, he earned the right to challenge Petrosian but lost the title match (Moscow, 1966). Spassky made it all the way up again in the next cycle and won the crown in his second match against the ninth world champion.
Spassky played seven times for the Soviet Olympiad team (1962–1978). In 1976, Spassky immigrated to France; he competed for France in three more Olympiads (1984–1988).
Huge congratulations to all three teams, Merseyside challenged all Northern counties on Sunday 23rd and came first and third, in the Pennine Challenge cup 2025 chess-results.com/tnr1123685… #proud @ecfchess @TelegraphChess @schoolschess @WhitefieldPS
