Sussex Junior Chess tournament results
Well done to Steven, John and Joseph, who entered the Sussex Junior Chess tournament in Horsham recently. All three scored some points, which is no mean feat considering the very high quality opposition at this event. Several of their opponents have already played for the county and at least one has been in the England trials.
Well done to all three of them for playing their hearts out! Remember, playing better players is one of the best ways to improve your game. Entering tournaments is also a good way of meeting new opponents and seeing different ideas and strategies on the chessboard.
