After months of planning, the first day of the Teesside International Women’s Invitation Chess Championship, supported by the English Chess Federation, finally arrived.
We already had the big announcement, an introduction to the players and a glimpse of the Vera Menchik Memorial trophy in earlier reports and now there is a lot more to tell.
Agnieszka, Raphaële and Gulbahor arrived on Teesside immediately after the 9th CSC Teesside Team Tournament (Rayelynn and Jo were due to join us on the following day).
Richard Harris, my excellent friend and fellow CSC tutor, was with me as we collected the three stars from the station.
