Today's club
It was the older half of the club today and we had something that resembled the Caucus Race in Alice in Wonderland.
Part of the club split into two teams today and everyone played a single move on a board before moving to the next in a haphazard crocodile. Femi eventually delivered checkmate to finish the contest and return things to sanity.
Luv and John at the head of the Caucus Crocodiles mid-race.
Anna and Ed - our Caucus Race captains - relaxing after the contest. Felix in the background has retired into the world of Percy Jackson.
Femi, Alex, Laurence, Hector, Anna and Josh all quicker to spot a camera than a tactic on the board. Alex and I teamed up to play Femi.
Milana and Janet teamed up against Alice. Janet's brother John in the background. Kush (standing) playing Luv in the top corner.

U12 Brentwood Open
Well done to everyone who took part yesterday in the 4th U12 Brentwood Open. We ended up with 63 players in total including 14 from CJCC. Thank you to everyone who helped make the tournament such a success.
Congratulations to Nina for winning the overall event and becoming Brentwood Prep Champion at the same time. They'll be a report, crosstable and photos at www.britishchess.co.uk in due course.
Along with our regular club on Tuesday I'll be coaching this week at Brentwood Senior School, KEGS, St. Cedd's, Elm Green and Moulsham Juniors. The players will range from Reception at St Cedd's to Year 12 at Brentwood. Great to have so much interest in the game.

It was the younger half of the club this week. A couple of photos below (plus one from the previous week).
A busy week with the older players last week.
