The Home of Chess

An evening of chess at Simpson's in the Strand featuring simultaneous and blindfold games with grandmasters, hosted by Jason Kouchak.

Twelve players join grandmasters Stuart Conquest and Luke McShane in the Assembly Room for an evening of chess hosted by Jason Kouchak. The night opens with Conquest playing all twelve opponents simultaneously; the three best performers then face McShane playing blindfolded. The finale is Jazz Chess, a new game invented by Kouchak for the evening, with commentary for spectators throughout.
