Present the

National Girls' Team Championships 2006,

RESULTS

This prestigious team tournament was open to all female chess players, up to the age of 18.
County sides, school teams or just groups of chess-friends were all welcome.

This festival of chess was held on the 10th June 2006,
in the historic grounds of Claremont Fan Court School.

 

It was a fantastic day out for all the family.
The amazing weather allowed everyone to take advantage of the 97 acres of parkland,
picnic facilities and tours of the Claremont Mansion,

 

Claremont Fan Court School provided us with a large video screen during the day,
onto which we were able to project images of various matches, during rounds 1, 2 and 3.

The flags might give it away, but during rounds 4 and 5
the big screen showed the England vs Paraguay World Cup 2006 match.

 

The Championships entertained over 200 competitors from across the UK,
including those selected to attend as Elite Players.

To receive a prestigious Elite Invitation to the 2007 National Girls' Team Championships, you must:
Have been part of a section winning team at this year's team championships.
Win a 2006 British Championship title.
Win a 2006 All England Gold Finals National title, on the 24th June 2006.
