Another one of our pupils has made it to number one ranking in the UK. One of our Y4 friends is now number one in the UK for under -9s in blitz chess. During the holidays, he participated in a tournament, winning all 18 games; his score is 1709 with second next best player being 1437!
Blitz chess is a fast-paced game of chess where each player has a limited amount of time, typically 10 minutes or less, to make all their moves.
This achievement is very impressive – I might have to get some chess lessons from this young man as I have never been able to play. Amazing!
