The 11th
March was another triumph for the coaching and tournament day
format.
76 children of a wide range of ages and abilities descended on
King's House School, Richmond
They all played 5 competitive games of chess against other teams
and received top class coaching throughout the day.
Thank you
to King's House for allowing us to use such a great venue.
The coaching was extremely popular and even attracted
some of the adults,
who were keen to learn more about the game that their children
love.
Thank you to the coaches who worked so hard on the day:
Chris Ward, Nick Pert, Rosalind Kieran, Ken Coates.
No competitor
could win more than one prize.
