Worth Grand Prix, 23rd October 2010
Sunshine and showers greeted the record turnout of 85 hopefuls and their parents at Worth this year, but spirits remained high and football and tennis were enjoyed between downpours.
As a qualifying event for the prestigious London Junior Chess Championships this tournament is always popular, and we were pleased to welcome players from Surrey, Kent and Essex to strengthen the field. Special mention has to go to 4 year old Haolin Zhao - our youngest tournament entrant in recent history - who not only played good long games, but was found playing chess on an iphone between rounds!
Thanks are due to Angela Higgs and Worth School for the spacious and historic venue. Also to the catering team - Derek Ferguson, John Higgs, and Victoria Finnegan; and the tournament team led by Sue Howell - Chris Lear, Brian Stockham, Tim Woods, Trevor Norton, Gary McCullough and Dave and Will Graham.
