4th Sussex Girls Chess Congress Saturday 18th January 200329 girls competed with 3 visitors from Surrey and 1 from Ireland. In a very competitive top section an all play all 5 round tournament was followed by a 1st/2nd and 3rd/4th and 5th/6th play off. There were no easy games with each player registering a score and the two leaders finishing equal on 4/5. Jemima McGraw came out winner in a final tense game against Ellie Hayden who had the consolation of gaining the Sussex Girls Under 18 Championship. In the under 11 tournament Surrey's Sheila Dines ran out winner but not without a fight by the Sussex girls especially by Elizabeth Tehrani in the final round taking a half point from Sheila after playing a very good line in the Scotch Gambit. Congratulations to Jessica Wood for winning the Sussex Girls U11 Championship. For the first year we borrowed an idea from our Surrey neighbours and presented Teddy Bear prizes to the winners of the Under 7s and Under 8s with all the girls voting and choosing the names of Bertie and Treacle.
