Re: UKCC Strat 2009 - Felix Ynojosa
This is the first year we are thinking about entering people - when does the new registration form normally come up? Is it happening in 2010?

Re: Kick-starting chess
Sorry for not replying to the helpful tips earlier. Here's where I am now.

I tried to run through a game today on the whiteboard with people...

Best free chess software
Hi,
can someone please link me to some free chess software where you can play human v human? This is to demo games on an electronic whiteboard in school.

Re: Update on Project?
Now if they were giving out chess clocks, that would be good. This is my first post, I am a teacher in a secondary in Swindon and am trying to re-start inter-school games. Most schools do seem to have sets already, and sets are relatively cheap - maybe even cheaper than the £50 for 10 quoted in the...
