Chess Tournament draws to a close with world champ

Jen Shahade takes on ten at a time!

Today sees one of the world's top chess players take on several members of the public all at once.

Jen Shahade is a two-time American chess champion and holds the title of Woman Grandmaster.

She'll be playing up to ten different games simultaneously from 10:30am at the Villa Marina in Douglas.

It's part of the Isle of Man International Chess Tournament, which draws to a close this weekend.

Anyone is welcome to step up to the plate, and the games will be played with a daring twist: a custom-made 'chess roulette' wheel designed to level the playing field.
