UK Chess Challenge 2017


The Crowborough Chess Club Qualifying tournament was completed last Friday.

The Sussex Mega-Final is being held on Saturday 29th April 2017 at Downlands School Hassocks.

Map and details can be found at the Sussex Junior Chess MegaFinal page.

As in previous years we have booked a classroom specifically for Crowborough Chess Club members where I will be based to give chess help and advice during the day. It is a useful resource away from the hustle and bustle of the tournament.

Round 1 starts at 10:00am arrive and register by 9:30am. Don't get there too early it is a very long day.

New for 2017 there is an online entry system. Enter early as there are no last minute entries permitted.
