Saturday 29th March - no CJCC but much chess

There was no chess club on Saturday 29th March because I was organising the English Chess Federation Primary Team Challenge at Brentwood Prep School.

On the same day the Essex Under 11 team (minus those at Brentwood) were taking part in the Inter-Association National Finals in Bolton. Essex would finish an excellent 4th. 

There were plenty of CJCC players involved in both events.

Brentwood Prep School won the Primary Team Challenge ahead of St Cedd's. 10 teams from 6 schools took part.

George (St Cedd's) vs Edward (Widford Lodge) - both CJCC players.

Round 1 underway.

Brentwood Prep vs St Cedd's - the deciding match. Adi on the right is board 1 for St Cedd's but Brentwood Prep ran out the winners.

The official U11 team photo. Plenty of CJCC players (including Veer and Vidwath making their Essex debuts).

Relaxing between games - 5 of the 6 are part of CJCC.

Back to the club next Saturday (5th April) where we can celebrate everyone's chess.

Best Wishes
