The Delancey UK Schools Chess Challenge is one of the biggest competitions in Junior chess. It starts in school chess clubs in the Autumn, and competitors can progress to qualify for regional Megafinals and Gigafinals.
The 2022 Delancey UK Chess Challenge concluded with the Terafinal held at Blenheim Palace 16th and 17th October. 60 players took part across 5 “all-play-all” age group sections (U8/10/12/14/18).
To quote the organisers – “All players had done remarkably well to make it to this stage – the Terafinal is exceptionally difficult to qualify for! ” So huge congratulations to Andy Nguyen and Avyanna Singh who both qualified for the U10 section – the only Sussex players to make it through.
Andy had a particularly good tournament finishing 4th overall.
