Hi Everyone

On the eve of the World Championship Candidates Tournament,  Chess in Schools and Communities in conjunction with East Village London launched a new initiative to bring chess into schools.  See here for more details http://www.chessinschools.co.uk/ 

I covered the morning event, when the Mayor of Newham, Sir Robin Wales took on British Champion Gawain Jones

In the evening a glamorous launch party was held at Mortons club in Mayfair.  Olympians Dame Kelly Holmes and Beth Tweddle, along with footballer Edgar Davids and a host of models and actors came to this exclusive event.  See my photos from the evening here
