London Junior Qualifier at Worth


Saturday 17th October 2015

19 players from Croborough Chess Club took their chances in this traditionally very strong tournament run by Sussex Junior Chess.

Everybody played really well and what was pleasing was the number of games that I could review between rounds, many of them notated right to the end.

Well done to everyone. The following qualified to play at the London Junior Chess Championships in December;
