The organising committee for the 47th BWCI Guernsey International Chess Festival is pleased to announce that English IM Brandon Clarke will be participating in this year’s event.
Brandon is a former British Junior Champion, Australian Blitz Champion and New Zealand Champion.
His career highlights include winning the UK Chess Challenge, playing in the PRO Chess League, as well as representing England in both the European and World Championships. He was awarded the IM title in 2019 and then proceeded on a 65 game unbeaten streak in open tournaments across the world.
This will be his first appearance at the Guernsey International Chess Festival and we look forward to welcoming him in October.
