A great clip and, yes, our June magazine is out and available from @ChessAndBridge! No football inside, but we do have Andrew Ledger's report on a dramatic final @4NCL weekend of the season, as well as coverage of a certain @Sothebys sale, and @DanielKingChess on Vaishali! #chess

Congratulations to Harry Grieve, who has just won to score his third GM norm in Budapest (h/t @LozHCooper)! Fittingly Harry made use of the English Defence and, as @TelegraphChess pointed out, one of Tony Miles' contributions to it, 3...Bb4 !?, en route to a crushing win. #chess

Wow, @chesspublishing, you've had a makeover! Worth checking out the homepage or chesspublishing.com/news/the…! Looks much sleeker and with some extra features, like comparing your games with theory, as well as a reference database from @MarkTWIC and @johnchess' BritBase games! #chess

Great to see both volumes of David LeMoir's Chess in Miniature in stock at @ChessAndBridge! Somewhat different to @capakhine's Capablanca & Alekhine, but also very enjoyable. The author of the classic How to Be Lucky in Chess now reveals the 16 secrets to winning quickly! #chess
