Sasin Chess Club has invited Bangkok Chess Club members to a special event involving a “fireside chat” with Thailand’s first International Master IM Prin Laohawirapop, and FM Riste Menkinowski, a stalwart of chess education in Thailand. It will be followed by simuls with the two masters, and then a blitz tournament with BCC and Sasin members.
In the above photo, IM Prin held GM Nigel Short to a draw in the 22nd BCC Open.
This is taking place instead of our regular chess night at The Royal Oak on March 6. There may be some players going to the normal club, especially for long games, but there will be no organised tournament.
The event takes place at Sasin School of Management (TK Hall) not far from the National Stadium BTS, starting at 5:30. The event is free to join, and should be a lot of fun. Scan the QR code in the poster to register.
