Chess is hard

Thomas Tuchel is incredibly impressive. Really looking forward to the World Cup.

Yeah, it might be all that you get Yeah, I guess this might well be it Well, heaven knows I've tried

Excellent batting by England, and well played Alice Capsey. Never thought I’d say that. #BBCCricket #EngvNz

Has Sophie Ecclestone been found out? At least at T20s. Batters are attacking her now, with a lot of success. #BBCCricket #ENGvNZ

You might be able to see one of them here:

Morning walk exploring #EpsomCommon, which is a Local Nature Reserve, Site of Special Scientific Interest, and my favourite place in Epsom. Two herons are nesting on Great Pond. We mustn’t get too close.

Oh Lordy

I wonder how many people in #Epsom know we have camels living here?

Congratulations to @IMPeterLarge, who won the Open section of yesterday's 6th Epsom SRCA Rapidplay with a score of 5½/6. He was run close by Matthew Dishman (2nd) on 5/6 and James Allison finished 3rd on 4/6 ahead of two IMs. Emmuanel Shek (Epsom J.C.C.) won the U-1200 section.

rtchessclub.com/2026/05/15/202… Our London and TVA teams both faced important matches this week.

Today: I won the Epsom rapidplay. I can’t publish the results, because they haven’t updated chess-results.com It’s fantastic to have a regular tournament in Epsom, so well done @ClubEpsom. But sort out the organisation.

Today: Posh venue! Makkar is very strong.

Today - Cherniaev is back!

Kingston have come runners up in the @4NCL 1st Division. A tremendous achievement given we were only promoted two seasons ago. We also won the 3rd Division (knights) ensuring promotion to the 2nd Division. Fulsome reports to follow.

I’m rewatching #TedLasso in preparation for the new series. So good.
