Hello everyone!
I’m excited to share that I’ll be competing in the British Rapid Championship in Peterborough on 14–15 March! It’s one of the biggest events of the month, and I’d love for you to be part of my journey.
Two years ago, I competed in the British Rapid Championship 2024 and had one of my best tournament performances — I finished joint first in the Open event, also becoming the British Women’s Rapid Champion.

This year, I’m coming back motivated, focused, and ready to fight again — and I’d love for you to be part of the journey.
Live Blitz Streams Before the Tournament
From 9–12 March, I’ll be live streaming starting at 7:00 PM (Irish time) as part of my preparation.
I’ll be playing on Lichess, and you can challenge me under my handle:

How the sessions work:
I’ll be running a rotating 1-hour blitz session: I start with the first player, then move to the next person who joins, and continue through all players in order. After reaching the last player, I go back to the first, and keep rotating like this so everyone gets multiple games.
Support & Payment Details:
- €10 per person to be included in a 1-hour rotating 3+2 blitz session — you’ll play multiple games as I rotate between all participants.
- You can pay via Stripe or Revolut ID: revolut.me/trishakan
- Spots are limited, so make sure to book early!
