Welcome to our part of the World!
Whilst we wouldn't turn 'Ding' away
(as long as he paid his club 'subs'!) we're really not looking for Masters or Grandmasters.
A warm welcome awaits players of all ages and abilities.
Ding Liren, born in 1990, is the current World Chess Champion and a Juventus FC fan. He learned chess at the age of four and became a 'GM'(a Grandmaster) in 2009. His current rating is a colossal 2762 elo points (March '24.) Strong club players are around 1800. Not bad, eh?
The 2023 FIDE World Chess Championship match between GMs Liren
and Ian Nepomniachtchi took place from April 7 - May 1, 2023
in Astana, Kazakhstan. It was an exciting encounter,
ultimately decided by a tie break.
