Hi all,
So, that's it folks! The British Championship 2014 is over and the Knights have had some thoroughly respectable scores, not least of which was 7.5/11 (3rd=) in the main event scored by a 'Knight Parent', Richard Pert.
Below is a summary of how the rest of us got on:
U120
Mohammud Jaufarallay (Knight Parent) 3/5
U16
Daniel 4/7
U14
Daniel 4.5/7
Elliot 3/7
Shazia 2/7
U13
Elliot 3.5/7
U12
Niall (Member of our sister club, the Knights of Gidea Park) 3/7
U10
Nadia 3/7
U9
Zahra 1/7
Unfortunately we did not manage to take a picture of Zahra as her event was shorter and held in a different room.
So that's the British Championships over for another year! I would like to congratulate GM David Howell on retaining his title even when it looked like he was all but out of contention and also IM Jonathan Hawkins, who looked like he was certain to win with his electric 6/6 start and did not disappoint.
See you all soon!
Daniel

Congratulations to all our players at the Championships. It has been good to hear about the chess and the fun since you all got back. It is a great experience to play in big chess events like this.
ReplyDeletePerhaps Richard's fine showing in the main tournament was down to the work he has done with the older Knights at the club!
