Over recent weeks a Delancey UK Schools Chess Challenge tournament has been run at Crowthorne Chess Club. This is a seven round Swiss with each game scoring 3 points for a win, 2 for a draw and 1 for a loss. Some players entered when the tournament was already in progress, so not all players played the full seven games.
Many thanks to John Upham for organising and running the tournament …. and well done to everyone who took part in it!
