was at Holland park yesterday in London meet ups everyday and Saturday also after the sun goes in Kensington high street café nero played some good chess with some great people yesterday also visited the chess and bridge shop ;-)

I have a close friend who is a very strong (IMO) player. It's been a blessing over the years to have an opponent who is better that you and willing to analyse and tutor. Local clubs are usually full of such players.

Unfortunately not, I've only ever plated on here.

Hope the OP does not mind me answering on his thread.
