British chess champion Nigel Short is coming to Corringham later this month to pit his wits against the county's best players.
Grandmaster Short will be competing against 30 players at the same time in a 30-board simultaneous display.

Chess players will be flocking to the Night of Knights, being hosted by Shell Chess Club on Monday, January 20 at 7.30pm.
And if think you are good enough, you can take-on the champion by sponsoring one of the boards at £35 each or you can watch for £5.
The £35 fee includes refreshments.
Cheques should be made payable to Shell Club Corringham Limited and sent to Paul Lovell, Shell Club Manager and Director, Night of Knights, Shell Club Corringham Limited, Springhouse Road, Corringham, Essex SS17 7QT.
