Traitors star takes on Birmingham school pupils in chess challenge
Birmingham-based chess coach Anthony Mathurin visited the school to share his experience of the BBC show and test three students in simultaneous matches
A Birmingham chess coach who appeared on BBC television show The Traitors has visited a local school to put pupils' strategic skills to the test.
Anthony Mathurin visited Hall Green School, where he spoke to students about chess and how the game can help develop concentration, confidence and strategic thinking.
He also discussed his experience on The Traitors, where players must think ahead, adapt to changing situations and make decisions under pressure.
During the visit, Anthony took on three Hall Green pupils in simultaneous chess matches, playing all three games at the same time.
After a closely fought series of games, one student emerged victorious in the final match.
Hayyann, one of the pupils who played against Anthony, said: "Playing against Anthony was a fantastic experience. It was impressive to see him taking on three games at the same time and still thinking several moves ahead.
"The matches were challenging and made me think carefully about my strategy."
