A massive thank you to the Mind Sports Olympiad team for hosting us for this event yesterday at the JW3 in London and a special thank you to Alain Dekker for his indispensable support in running the event.

We were incredibly pleased at the turn-out and how much people enjoyed playing; we feel honoured that such high ranking Chess players took the time to enter. It was amazing to watch Colour Chess being played at such a high level, with incredibly complicated networks of inter-dependant threats being generated and seeing colour control being integrated so successfully into traditional Chess strategy.

 

A massive congratulations and thank you to all of our players and particularly to the first World Champion of Colour Chess, Martyn Hamer!
