Well done Peter! to get an international chess grade you have to play in a chess tournament that is FIDE rated not all chess tournaments are! Peter gained 23 points when he won the Uxbridge Adult chess open and also drew with 2 grandmasters Mark Hebden  and Keith Arkell.

I don't think people understand how hard it is to get your grade to this level it takes a lot of work study reading of chess books which Peter does and then you have to do it on the chess board in a real game where if you slip up you will lose rating points!

Peter wants to become an IM(international Master you need a grade of 2300 and 3 master norms which you can only get in certain events!

Peter still only 15 so hopefully in couple of years he achieve this.

Any one else out their Plays chess or would like to ask question then please leave a comment on here and we will do our best to answer you.

  3. hello Loz nice to see you here on our Blog!
    The best opening to learn for black for juniors is the Sicilian Defence and for white i would learn the Ruy Lopez also i would teach your son how to record his moves so that you can look though game to see where you have gone wrong! it is also inportant to just play as a junior win or lose it does not matter so dont forget to enjoy have fun playing with him!

  4. Thanks for that!! Excellent advice, and I will certainly pass it n to him. Good idea, recording his moves too.
    He's only just started, and enjoys it as a passtime more than anything, but it's always nice to introduce something properly don't you think?

    As a chess player and a strategy game inventor I watch the progress of Peter, and hope he will progress into the international top 100 rankings in time.

  7. hello cvno nice to see you on here.Im afraid to progress into the top 100 ranking in the world may not be possible due to the lack of support chess players get. It cost a great deal of money to go to chess tournments as you often have to travel long way and stay over in hotel or self catering.We are not a rich family so find it very hard to do this!
