We bought 50 boards and sets from a local chess club. Today we're mostly experiencing the hidden joys of pre-congress preparation.

Two years ago I made a map of all Open standard play #chess congresses in the UK and colour coded it (red for FIDE-rated, yellow for ECF-rated only). It's had about 7500 views since. I'm really hoping to add another red pin for a regular #AlphaChess Congress in North London soon.

How could we possibly say we offer "next-gen events" without creating a #legoqrcode linking through our site to (currently) our WhatsApp events group? #chess #Alphachess We couldn't, could we?
