French Junior chess championships were held in Agen (47) in October and the place was rammed. 1200 odd contestants and it’s estimated to have brought €2,500,000 into the local economy through accommodation, meals etc.

One of my teachers at school was blind, and represented the UK at the World blind chess Olympiad. He used to do exhibitions at the school where he would play up to 10 other players simultaneously. It was absolutely spellbinding to watch him play. I still to this day can’t understand just how he did this.
