Here we are in all our soft focus glory – Battersea Chess Club, at its finest.

London’s best was featured in a slick video of the blitz event we put on in November with chess learning site Chessable.

More than 70 players packed into the club that night to battle it out with, among others, Christof Sielecki, aka ChessExplained, and IM John Bartholomew.

Christof, the IM from Germany, won the battle of the YouTube stars beating Jonathan Pein in the final round to finish on 7.5/8.

Here is the vid – enjoy:
