CSC at the London Chess Classic

Five CSC Teesside juniors - Caitlin (captain), Chloe, Grace, Finlay and Tom - travelled up to London at the end of December to take part in the 7th London Chess Classic.

All played very well and Tom secured a silver medal following a particularly noteworthy performance.

I am hoping to present a lot more stories and photos from the event in the near future, but for starters here is Captain Caitlin making the ceremonial opening move for former World Champion Vishy Anand.
