All
England Girls' Chess Championships
Southern Region, 26th January 2008
A small but
perfectly formed tournament.
Some amazing chess was played
and the venue, girls and parents were all brilliant!
Thank you to everyone who made the day such a pleasure.

Special thanks to the Kent Junior Chess Association who continue to do excellent work promoting junior chess and kindly allowed the All England event to run alongside one of their many successful junior events. Local IM Bob Wade was on hand to analyse games. The KJCC had also arranged for Bob to present a short lecture on his memories of Bobby Fischer, which was enjoyed by all. |
It was great to see that the girls were able to help one another improve whilst also winning their sections. Radha Jain demonstrated a previously undiscovered teaching talent, coaching newcomer Maria and winning the under 12 section. |
