EJCA Grand Prix winners

We had a celebration at the club this morning of all our Essex Junior Chess Association Grand Prix trophy winners. 

It was also a chance to congratulate everyone who played at Moulsham on 1st June.

The players pictured include Vidwath (U11 Essex Champion) and George (U18 Essex Champion).

Former CJCC player FM Max Pert was playing in the FIDE World Team Rapid Championships in London this week. Here he is with fellow competitor and chess legend GM Hikaru Nakamura.

Best Wishes
