This classic photograph depicts Mike teaching three members of Guisborough Chess Club back in 1995. From left to right we see Mike, Gawain Jones (now a brilliant Grandmaster, of course), Chris Bond and the late Mike Welch.


Earlier this season I was delighted to be able to play, for the first time, on the Mike Closs Memorial Board, which is the property of Thornaby Chess Club.

Now, onwards, to the tournament...
