3rd Brentwood Rapid - Tournament Summary on Blog

IM Richard Pert

For events please click on the Events & Results tab above.

Hello, my name is International Master Richard Pert and along with Brentwood School’s Head of Chess Robin Slade we started running junior events from 2016. From 2022 we branched out into adult inclusive events!

With the support of Essex Junior Chess Association and local schools (particularly Brentwood School and Moulsham School) we have put on a series of events for children of all abilities. Robin & myself are heavily involved in the strong chess programme at Brentwood School. With over 300 pupils on lichess and a specialist chess scholarship programme, do feel free to get in touch if you think that is something which you would like to learn more about.

Personally, I really pride myself on helping to produce the best possible events, inspired by my two children Nina and Max who always attend. I currently reside in Brentwood in Essex with my wife and 2 children. Please feel free to contact me on richpert@hotmail.com and hopefully we will get the chance to look at some chess together.

All the best,

Richard
