27 May 2019 - Chessercise
On Monday night, the juniors participated in the very first Chessercise session - possibly the very first in the world. Taking inspiration from chess boxing, they played 6 minutes of chess followed by 1 minute of "carefully" chosen exercises. Kudos to Samay for a backward plank on one hand and foot, Alex for making more noise than everyone else put together while mooing like a cow, Ross for his touch "mooove" jokes, and Gordon for making the whole session seem effortless.
When they achieve their GM norms, I'll upload the videos to Youtube...
I hope you all enjoyed it, and I'm looking forward to next year's session.
