Martin Kelly will play an online game of chess against an international chess master on Tuesday 8th December, live on the club's YouTube and Facebook channel.
Kelly will face south London-born Jovanka Houska - a nine-time British Women’s Chess Champion and one of the world’s leading female chess-players - at 12:00 GMT, with the game streamed live on YouTube and official Facebook.
The game has been arranged off the back of the success of the Netflix series The Queen’s Gambit, which has been the platform’s most watched drama of 2020, charting the fictional life of female chess protégé Beth Harmon who progresses from a challenging upbringing in an orphanage through the international chess ranks, all the way to world champion.
