2017/11/21 – JUNIOR CHESS SOLVING AT ACKWORTH SCHOOL

Written by Brian Stephenson

On Sunday 19th November 2017 there was a junior chess event at Ackworth School near Pontefract, Yorkshire. In the morning there was a chess solving tourney with 20 solvers taking part, run by myself and Phill Beckett (a good friend to the BCPS) and in the afternoon an otb rapid-play tourney. Results, the problems used (with solutions) and a couple of photos can be found at Steve Mann's website. Our thanks go to Ackworth School, the ECF, Phill Beckett and Peter Cloudsdale of the White Rose Junior Chess Academy.
