Manchester United - chesswise, apparently

No problems in Manchester, chess-wise. All sweetness and light :-P

Big props to Alan Walton (& others) at 3Cs in this slow newsday piece, but still good

It's refreshing to see something positive like this in the media, rather than the normal negative chess stories.

If the other clubs in Manchester had junior systems even a quarter as effective as 3C's then, yes, all would be sweetness and light :)

Nice article though.

Absolutely - great news.

A bit harsh of the Tesco staff to criticise somebody for not understanding their accents!
