Watch Battersea junior Denis Dupuis topple GM Simon Williams!

Battersea’s promising junior Denis Dupuis scored a brilliant win over the Ginger GM Simon Williams in a game played live on the grandmaster’s stream.

Denis and Simon were playing in the chess24 Community Battle – an on-going event held to promote the chess platform’s new playzone in the run-up to the FIDE World Championship later this month.

Denis won the first game as Simon played the London System, and then the Grandmaster got his revenge with a win in the King’s Gambit.

Having lost the first game, Simon described the “young warrior” as “one of the most talented juniors in England”. You can watch it here:
