This event is also a London Junior Chess Championships (LJCC) qualifier and so we had lots of strong competition across the younger sections of U8, U10 and U12.

Also good to see our older players in the U18 minor and major sections where we changed to six rounds and new time-controls in order to bring into line with other junior rapidplay tournaments.

Kent Junior Chess Association, Annual General Meeting

Sunday, 10th November 2019 at 1.30pm (during CD2)
At: Sevenoaks Primary School, Bradbourne Park Road, Sevenoaks, Kent TN13 3LB

We are pleased to announce that the KJCA AGM will be held at 1.30pm on Sunday 10th November 2019. This will be during our coaching day 2 which is being held at Sevenoaks Primary School.

KJCA provides first class regular tournaments and coaching days in Kent and South East London. We also have a long and proud history of success at county team events, winning many national titles across all junior age groups. Many Kent juniors also go on to achieve great individual success at national events such as the British Chess Championships and are also selected to represent England juniors at International tournaments.

The KJCA is run by a voluntary committee and relies on the dedication of parents and volunteers.

If you are able to give some of your time, even if it is just for a few hours at the various KJCA events, it is very much appreciated and will help us to provide chess opportunities for children and young people.

Please do let us know on secretary@kjca.org or come along to the AGM to find out more.
