Happy New Year!
The club met back on the 5th January and will carry on each Tuesday at 4.30pm. Congratulations to Harry and Jerry who qualified for and played in the London Junior Chess Championships over Christmas and did very well to score 3/7 and 5/7 respectively in the U8s. Congratulations also to former
Two tournaments coming up. Next Sunday (17th) is
the latest Essex Junior Grand Prix event at Southend. Entry forms and (after
next week) results at www.ejca.co.uk. Good
luck to all our players at the tournament.
I have a boxful of badges, chess mascots and shaggy pencils
which means it is time for the UK Chess Challenge. We’ll kick off at the club
on 19th January and play one round each week. It is a 7 round event
and we’ll run up to Easter to give as many juniors as possible a chance to get
7 games in. The best boy and girl in each school year will qualify for the
Essex Megafinal.
For those of you new to this event you score 3 points for a
win, 2 for a draw and 1 for a loss. You also as far as possible play someone
with a similar score to you each round. This means even the players new to
chess will score points and everyone will get a prize and a certificate.
Best Wishes
