London Chess Festival Summer 2022

Just one week after the Summer Reunion at Warwick, the Alumni were back out in force at the London Chess Festival. The group very impressively spammed ten generations of Warwick Chess, an all-time record. The day started at Jen's Cafe (Chinatown), with a couple hours at ChessFest (Traflagar Square), following by Happy Hour drinks at Simmons Bar (Leicester Square), with dinner at GFC (a Taanese Fried Chicken joint), ending up with drinks at Spoons.
