On Saturday 25 April, the Major and Minor finals of the English U9 County Chess Championship took place.
The Warwickshire A and B teams, having qualified for the final as Midlands Champions, produced outstanding performances, much to the delight of Mr Lam, the county’s Head Coach. Warwickshire A finished third in the Major final and Warwickshire B won the Minor Final with a 100% score.
Among the players was Warwick Junior School’s very own Alex. He showed just why he was deemed worthy of a call-up as he produced a fantastic performance on board 3 for Warwickshire B, scoring 3/4 despite being out rated in three out of the four rounds. Well done Alex!
