Trinity Square
FREE event
ChessFest will be taking place at Trinity Square on Saturday 15 July, offering everyone the chance to play on a giant chess set, try speed chess with a chess master, and get informal coaching for kids or playing tips for adults.
There will also be action on a giant screen and chess demonstrations, as the day marks the centenary of the Nottinghamshire Chess Association (NCA).
Dozens of chess sets and tables will be supplied on the day by the NCA and children from schools around the city and county will play games and attend informal coaching sessions.
International master and professional chess commentator, columnist and author Andrew Martin, will be acting as MC for the event. In 2004 Andrew Martin set a new world record for simultaneous chess when he faced 321 chess players at the same time, marking up 294 wins, 26 draws and just one loss.
As well as celebrating the NCA’s centenary the event aims to raise the profile of chess in the county and encourage more people of all ages to take up the game and seek out their nearest local chess club.
