My weekly travel information email from TfL, under Buses and Roads, warns me that on Sunday 18th July
A chess festival will be taking place at Trafalgar Square from 11:00 to 18:00.
Likely to be a massive event as Chris Ward and Shreyas were interviewed on Sky News today. Most of the top British players will be there giving simuls and Malcolm's hoping to carry out a Giant Chess Championship of the World. He's also got an idea to do this with the players having three minutes each which should get a laugh. Check out the event programme here:
