CJCC will be continuing their online chess through half-term week and up to Easter.
Last Friday CJCC's Battle Blitz Team (led by SereneCamel George) won promotion to Division Two of the National Battle Blitz League. These Battles take place on www.lichess.org every fortnight and everyone is welcome to join the CJCC Team and take part.
This week our Battle Blitz Team will take on Essex, Suffolk, KEGS, Brentwood School and Colchester Juniors in a Six-Way Shootout on Saturday 20th at 7pm.

Also this week we have a Coaching Day on Tuesday involving 32 children split over 4 sessions. These book out quickly and I'll be running more over the Easter holidays.
On Wednesday evening we have our Arena Blitz on www.lichess.org
CJCC Wednesday Evening 170221 Arena #N2V12sQf • lichess.org
On Saturday morning we will have a pair of tournaments split by rating with coaching for the less experienced players on www.chesskid.com
We'll continue with a mix of individual tournaments, Battle Blitz Team Tournaments and coaching through the next half-term.
All our chess sessions have Zoom running alongside to add to the social and coaching elements.
www.chesskid.com and www.lichess.org have great learning material and I would encourage all junior players to have fun exploring both sites.
Best Wishes
