This is from a poker website http://www.bluffeurope.com/poker-news/e ... 10852.aspx, but it mentions chess as well:
"Organisers of Europe's biggest poker festival, which takes place at London's Hanover Square on 2 and 3 September, have announced details of even more attractions including a tent devoted to chess, mahjong and rummy as well as a host of top class entertainment.

The newly created Main Stage will feature 'the very best in live music, big-name comedians, agic showsm card ninjas and a chess grand master playing speed chess against multiple opponents' as well as hosting the second annual British Poker Awards on the Saturday."
Any idea who the grandmaster might be?

Cheers,

David
