UK Chess Challenge

It was fantastic to see so many juniors playing chess at Rugby Workers Club last night. We went around and asked them if they wanted to take part in the UK Chess Challenge which we are aiming to start in our next club meeting which will be on Monday 7th February.

The UK Chess Challenge is a junior competition held every year right across the country in schools and junior chess clubs. Players who do well can play in the next stage of the competition which for us is in the Birmingham/Solihull area one Saturday in May. It is usually called the 'Megafinal' and there is a separate one for each county in the UK.

It is not compulsory so if you don't want to take part in the UK Chess Challenge that's fine. The ladder competition will take a secondary role but it will continue. Of course you can always play for fun or challenge one of the adult players.

Hope to see you next time.
