Kent Junior Newsround Update no. 17

Congratulations to Emily Green who has been chosen to represent England to the European Union Youth Chess Championship 2014 on 26 Aug to 4 Sept, in Czech Republic, due to her U13 ECF Grand Prix award in 2014. Here is the homepage of the Tournament: http://www.chess-svetla.cz/index.php?id=12.

Also on 13 July 2014, Emily won the Ultima award for U12, and Michael won the Ultimo award for U15, at the Southern Gigafinals in Reading. Unfortunately they were not able to take their place in the Terafinals because they were already booked to go to Riga, Latvia, for a 4-day chess training camp on 13 - 16 Aug 2014. The event was organised by the CSC in conjunction with the Latvian Chess Federation. Michael and Emily visited the Mikhail Tal statue at a park in Riga and played at the Riga Technical University Blitz tournament.
