Megafinal success for Jude and David - well done guys!

Jude with this year's Megafinal trophy.
Although Rugby Junior Chess Club is not taking part in the UK Chess Challenge in 2018 two of our members have competed in the first (Megafinal) stage and have done exceedingly well. Jude is Supremo  (higest scoring boy) in the U-8 age group.  He scored 5.5 out of a maximum of 6 (so no losses at all!)

David Phillips won the same title in the u-15 age group. Again a magnificent achievement.

The Coventry Chess Academy had a fantastic performance  overall and you can read more about it here.  The next stage will be the Gigafinal in July. Fingers crossed for great results there. Very well done David and Jude.
