My latest sport pics.... Chess, yes it is a sport....

I popped along to the final day of the 46th Guernsey International Chess Festival to photograph the final games.

There was a different atmosphere within St James as the morning progressed. Whilst I had experienced the calm of the first few days it seemed that the lower level players had become more animated as they completed their own games.

There was a lot more movement around the room as the top games continued and everyone was able to observe the masters playing.

I've finished the week really pleased that I took up the offer to photograph this sport. It has ticked another box for me.

Oh, in case you are doubting whether Chess is a Sport, I've turned to the Internet for the answer... of course!

Whilst there may be some disagreement between some people I think there seems to be a consensus that Chess can be considered a Sport - maybe just a little different than my 'normal' sports photography!
