On Saturday 4th November, Sussex Junior Chess took 6 teams of 6 players to ‘The National Youth Chess Association Junior Team Championships’.
With 36 players and at least 36 parents present a really good day was had by all.
- The U12 A team finished in second place, passing Richmond in the final round to win the trophies. Star player: Rose Burgess, 3 out of 3, board 6.
- The U12 B team scored an incredible 5 out of 6 in the final round to win the B team trophies. Star player: Samuel Shah, 2 out of 3, board 1.
- The U14 A team had some really good performances despite missing a few key players. Star player: Ryan Martin, 3 out of 3, board 4.
- The U14 B team narrowly managed to win the B team prize with a win in almost the last game of the tournament. Star player: Charlie Wannasin Bell, 2 out of 3, board 2.
- The U18 A team was very strong and finished in joint 1st place. Star player: Louis Buckland, 3 out of 3, board 2.
- The U18 B team had some really good results and won the B team prize. Star player: Sebastian Merchant, 2.5 out of 3, board 5.
A big thank you to all the players for attending and to all the parents for bringing them.
