Hello! My name is Theo Slade and I was England’s top scorer at the World U16 Olympiad in China as an U12 and I’ve been writing a monthly column for the British Chess Magazine since I was 12 years old. I’m the youngest ever writer for the world’s oldest chess journal! I became a National Master when I was 17 and a Life Master at 18.
In 2012 I captained England to victory at an international tournament. Personally, I scored an undefeated 4.5/6 on the top board. Later that same year at the Guernsey International Open, I won the brilliancy prize chosen by GM Tiger Hillarp Persson.
