Now, the Stars are fighting back with Nemo Zhou returning to the lineup, joined by nine-time British Women’s Champion and popular Chess.com commentator IM Jovanka Houska. The young Kids team, consisting of nine-year-old WFM Bodhana Sivanandan and twelve-year-old Antek Radzimski, are not to be underestimated.
