Lothian Junior Chess

Two exciting events coming up in March: the Scottish Girls' Championships on Saturday 18th at @stgeorgesedin and the @Delancey_UKCC Megafinal on Sunday 26th at @BroHighOfficial where you can qualify to play in Scotland's first Gigafinal!

Huge congratulations to Svetlana Sucikova for winning the 2nd She Plays To Win International in Edinburgh! chess-results.com/tnr718264.aspx… Riya won the SPTW Challengers chess-results.com/tnr720195.aspx… Thanks to the Chess Trust, John Robinson Youth Trust and Friends of Chess for their support.

Congratulations to Frederick Waldhausen-Gordon for winning the @ECFchess Grand Prix Event. Freddy beat one grandmaster, drew another and won the rest of his games. A remarkable achievement for a 10 year-old and one of the most impressive performances from one of our students.

Earlier this year Team @peregrine2020 from @BroHighOfficial did a fundraiser at one of our tournaments. On Saturday they won the R&D prize at the UK finals of @F1inSchoolsHQ.! Well done 👏👏

@EdinChessAcad @Delancey_UKCC Glad you enjoyed it. Well done to everyone who took part for qualifying from your club or school and for coming along today and playing so well. Great chess and great behaviour and respect for your opponents. Whether you qualified or not, you’re all winners!

We had a wonderful time at the Edinburgh MegaFinal today. Congratulations to all those who took part. A special mention to our five girls and five boys who won their age sections becoming Suprema and Supremo for their age. @Delancey_UKCC @LJC_chess
