Millennium Chess Junior
Chess Tournament
Organiser
Nick Thomas
Report
The first Millennium Chess Junior Tournament took
place on Saturday March 6th at King Henry VIII Preparatory School in
Coventry.
The Warwickshire Chess Association junior titles
were incorporated into the event which encouraged a good turnout of
around 150 children ranging in age from 6 to 18.
The tournament was a great success due mostly to the
professionalism and hard work of the control team, coaching team,
catering staff and helpers. Special thanks to staff at the
school for allowing the event to take place and for putting in a
tremendous amount of work to make it a success. Thanks and
well done to all those who attended.
Prizewinners
A title is shared when 1st place is shared between
two or more eligible juniors from Warwickshire.
