Strange that there should be so few comments on this forum about this event. From what little feedback I've received, it was quite a success.

Re: Chessfest -coming soon!
Events in Trafalgar Square definitely a big success yesterday from what I saw, although definitely hot weather for those performing in the 'Live chess' and giving simuls with very little shade to be found.

It was a really good event and quite enjoyable. Juniors and adults alike had fun and some great matchups, and some may even have memories for a lifetime (mention to the little 6yo who played against Adams in R1 and lasted quite a bit).Thomas Rendle wrote: ↑Mon Jul 19, 2021 3:20 pmResults from Saturday's rapidplay: https://chess-results.com/tnr569616.asp ... =6&flag=30
Congratulations to Marcus and Peter.
Worth mentioning the loos which were kept incredibly clean for an event this size.

Re: Chessfest -coming soon!
It was absolutely brilliant, even though I made a twit of myself playing Michael Adams!
Shame about the sun but couldn't be helped, will use a lot of the ideas they had for one of the clubs I am involved with.
Thanks to everyone that made it happen, and it was so lovely seeing familiar and new people

Thanks, John. It's much easier when the sun is shining, isn't it?

When the sun is shining directly is creates very flat lighting conditions especially for landscape work. Hence dawn or dusk are best for these kind of shoots.Brendan O'Gorman wrote: ↑Mon Jul 19, 2021 8:10 pm
