An update on this event that took place last weekend is available at the link below. Unfortunately we were unable to attend but hopefully there will be another held in future.

Many thanks to Andrew for a first class event. The coaching was expertly presented and very well received by our juniors. They were still talking about the final puzzle he set a long time after it finished.

And after a tough morning with the youngsters Andrew still managed to overcome just about everyone in the simul. The final result was Andrew Martin 17.5 Shropshire 1.5.

I would thoroughly recommend Andrew to anyone who wants to run a coaching event like this. He was an absolute pleasure to work with and a true professional.
