The Delancey UK Schools' Chess Challenge
Our junior members have done very well in this major competition, in which more than 60,000 young chess players from all over the country are taking part.
Nine young club members qualified to play in the West of Scotland 'Megafinal' and all acquitted themselves well, achieving good scores. Five scored particularly well and qualified for the next stage, the Northern 'Gigafinal', which will be held in Derby in July.
Three of our members were prize winners - Sam Harper, first equal in the boys under 7 section with 5/6; Lauren Bond, first in the girls under 11 section with 6/6; and Alexander Bond, first in the boys under 13 section with 6/6. A superb achievement by all three.
Prize winners Lauren Bond, Alexander Bond and Sam Harper.
