Like so many others, I was devastated to hear the news that Sue Maroroa Jones passed away last week, aged 32, shortly after the birth of her second child. Please help support her family with a donation... gofund.me/4576084b

One of London's most cherished chess players, David Jones, has died aged 99. David played for Oxford Univ as long ago as 1942 before proceeding to Bletchley Park as a wartime code-breaker. Here he is flanked by grandmasters @DavidHowellGM and & @gmmds at the 2018 Varsity match

Great to see that 3 English juniors - Elis Dicen, Zoe Veselow and Ethan Pang - will play the final round of their respective European Youth Ch. sections on the top 3 boards. Hope they prepare hard, but don't feel too much pressure and above all, enjoy the moment.
