This was the first tweet. Two years and over 400 tweets later, I'm no longer updating Twitter. You can still enjoy an archive of the ColCHESSter journey. Many thanks to my non-bot followers, #chesspunks and #chess #streetchess and #pubchess enthusiasts.

Colchester is Britain’s 1st city as well as one of its newest. We have excellent #chess clubs but as yet no #streetchess scene. What's missing here? Whether you are in Castle Park, Knights Field, Bishop Road or Queen Street you should not be far from a game of chess!

The new compactor bin on Colchester High Street is a heritage-defying eyesore, but it allows vertical chess playing. Get you pieces from verticalchess.net Win or draw? Who to move! #chess #chesspunks

Seems every time I login to what used to be Twitter all I see is new followers that are just bots with thousands of follows and a few followers. One or two announcements about chess coming from me soon but otherwise why should I stay? #chess #NoiseBad

Tooting do not be alarmed! Just posting for fun this copy email from Meetup begging for someone to renew an account. Experience tells me a Meetup account is too expensive for organising social chess - there are better ways colCHESSter.org.uk #chess

Went to GO4 Cafe Chess Club last Thursday and got too engrossed in the chess to take a photo! Every Thursday from 5pm - knock for entry. You can borrow a set to play during opening hours: now Thursday to Sunday. Great coffee! colchesster.org.uk/docs/go4-cafe-… #chess

Thought I would post some good chess news today - checked my account notifications - who puts this insulting toad (turns out not directly aimed at me) on my Twitter. Musk get a grip. #notchess

Good to see FIDE joining my social chess initiative. A bit late but perhaps the organisation will have some success outside Colchester.

The chess board is a knightmare space. I'd rather play with pieces that were not named for crown and church. We need more rooks especially in government! #chess #badbishops

BREAKING: MPs have rallied to support amendments to a government bill to remove the automatic right for 26 Church of England bishops to sit in the House of Lords. Fantastic to see such support. humanists.uk/2024/10/17/hum…
