Shropshire Chess Association is delighted to present a simul with Michael Adams on Saturday 1 March 2014 in Telford. We have a maximum of 40 boards, with 30 booked so far. The event will be held at what is now our regular venue, Wrekin Housing Trust in Telford, and will include a blitz event and lecture by Michael, with our legendary food to keep you all sustained. Players and spectators very welcome.

We are looking forward to welcoming Michael Adams to Shropshire today.

The simul has 37 entrants so far, headed by Nick Rutter and Nigel Ferrington - there is still a chance for up to 3 last minute entries! PM me if you are interested and near enough to Telford for a 2pm start. There is a fun blitz in the morning with the prizes being a live board for the simul.

Full list of entrants on the Shropshire chess website. We are planning to broadcast five games on our live boards here from 2pm - http://www.shrewsburychessclub.org/live-chess/

There was only 217 Grading points between them, but the hope of the win was still there. The Brewood Chess Circle website report on the Michael Adams simul is here: http://brewoodchess.webs.com/apps/blog/ ... l-binfield
