Barclaycard Lightning

Last week at Brambles Primary Academy we introduced Barclaycard volunteer Mr Shelton to the delights of Lightning Chess.

Moves must be played after a mere ten seconds of thought, which ensures players will concentrate more on what is happening on the board.

Mr Shelton, a long-term volunteer and a Brambles favourite, clearly enjoyed the rule that allows kings to be captured if they fail to escape from check.
