Kent Junior Newsround Update no. 9 - London Chess Classic 2013

Many of our Kent Juniors (and a few seniors) are playing at the London Chess Classic tournament, which is the largest chess festival in the UK held over 9 days at the Olympia Centre, Kensington.

Congratulations to Ximan Mao who was 2nd in the U10 section of the London Chess Rapid Play with 4 / 6 and to Freddie Hand who was also 2nd in the U12 section of the same tournament with 4.5 / 6..

Navieinaah Haridas and Robert Akeya Price both narrowly missed out on a prize by only half a point as they finished with 3.5 points out of 6 in their respective sections.

Well done to all the Kent Juniors who are taking part in the various events, including Joelle Hakim, Danyal Warsop, Jai Singh Chaturvedi and Freddie Nunn.

In the Long play sections, there were good performances from Girinath Haridas(Open), Anantha Anilkumar(U170), Mikey Watson and Jacob Watson(U120). Kent Junior Arul Gupta is currently playing in the FIDE open section which is over the whole 9 days.
