The chess club were lucky to have IM Bob Wade visit and deliver some coaching.
.
After demonstrating some opening variations in the Italian Opening, Bob went on to tell us how he helped Bobby Fischer prepare for his 1972 World Championship match versus Boris Spassky, including showing us some handwritten letters from Fischer himself.
.
Bob also spoke about his time in Cuba when he played chess against Che Guevara amongst others.
.
Bob then played a simultaneous display against 6 players, with Matt Bunn managing to beat Bob and Douglas Smith gaining a well deserved draw. Bob won the other 4 games.
