MP Visit to Mill Lane

Mill Lane Primary School, in Stockton-on-Tees, enjoyed the visit of their local MP, Alex Cunningham, in their chess session today.

Alex helped the children solve some checkmate problems on the big board and then went around the boards to watch the children play.

Henry's Checkmate

Here is an interesting moment from one of the games in this week's Yarm Preparatory School House Chess Championship.

Henry, whose favourite piece is the bishop (and whose favourite tactic is the pin) played ...Bf3 in the first position, intentionally sacrificing his rook on a2.

After Qxa2, he checkmated the white king with ...Rd1!

Note that the knight on f2 cannot capture the rook, as it is pinned to the king by the other bishop on h4.

Well played, Henry!

Teesside Megafinal: 41 Places Left

Just 41 Teesside Megafinal places remain.

If you leave it too late to enter, you will miss out, as once we reach the 150 limit the entries will close.

Take action as soon as you can if you would like to enter.

Marsh's Angels: Katie's Checkmate

More history made by Marsh’s Angels: Katie’s checkmate was our first-ever away win.

Darlington won the match 3-1 but it was a very close one this evening.

Marsh's Angels: Match Number Four

Teesside Megafinal: 101 Entries

We now have 101 Teesside Megafinal entries and only 49 remain.

If you leave it too late to enter you will miss out as I will not be able to create more places once we reach 150 entries.

Don’t say I didn’t warn you!
