Read on — Hampstead Festival Chess Congress - from Meri Grigoryan I am holding my Second Simultaneous Chess Exhibition in Bournemouth town square on 15th July from 11am-5pm. Last year, with all your kind help, I raised £135 online at http://www.donatetobreastcancer.org/chessinbournemouth (http://www NULL.donatetobreastcancer NULL.org/chessinbournemouth) and £100 in cash during the event. My target was £200! I reached £235, thanks to you (sadly, £60 was paid to the council and happily, £20 to ECF women’s chess) Now this year, let’s increase the target to £300! Please donate at http://www.justgiving.com/NoBreastCancer-ChessInBournemouth (http://www NULL.justgiving NULL.com/NoBreastCancer-ChessInBournemouth), as every penny makes a difference! I just hope that one day the word ‘cancer’ will only be mentioned in astrology. I hope to see you all in Bournemouth on 15th July – I will give away chess prizes: books and DVDs for best game, best junior, best senior and best lady!

Zheming is just one of 100 pupils from Royal Grammar School in Newcastle who attend the weekly chess club, run by Paul Bielby. Mr Bielby, a retired teacher who has also competed at national level, said: “Zheming is quite an exceptional chess player. He is already the best junior player of his age in the country by quite some margin. He won the under-8s British Junior Championship and the under-9s, and he recently competed at a trial in Liverpool which he won quite comfortably.” Read on — Zheming Zhang in the Newcastle Journal The Lady Herbert Trophy for the 2011-12 British Ladies Correspondence Chess Championship has been retained by Toni Halliwell of Keighley on 3½/4 from Valerie Craven of Leeds (2½) and Stephanie Lawrence of Cheslyn Hay (0).
