The number of replies was an increase on last year’s 403, though there were fewer correct solutions than last year’s 334. The English Chess Federation published the version of The Starter sent to schools, so the number of replies from the ECF is included in the numbers allocated to “Distribution to Schools”. This is the third consecutive year that The Guardian has provided the most replies.
