Parliament plays host to two grandmasters - and some keen MP amateurs - to show support for Ukraine.
Conservative transport minister Jesse Norman, Labour's shadow chancellor Rachel Reeves, the SNP's Chris Stephens, Conservatives John Baron and Tobias Ellwood played for the Commons.
Sir Lindsay said he was "honoured to host the first challenge match in Speaker's House between leading players of two close allies". "Chess is also a wonderful game of strategy that crosses boundaries of language, age, sex, culture and disability - which makes it the perfect sport for Grandmasters of two friendly nations, or even parliamentarians, to play."
The remaining games will be split between Ukrainian Embassy and European Bank for Reconstruction and Development in Canary Wharf.
