York Junior Chess Congress.
Part of the Yorkshire Junior Grand Prix.
The best tournament for top juniors & those attending their first event
(Sponsored by the Yorkshire Junior Chess Association & The Ross Junior Chess Academy, Hull)
Sunday June 27, 2010
at Sitwell Primary School, Grange Road, Rotherham, S60 3LA
This is the last of the Junior Grand Prix events this year and this event also incorporates the Yorkshire Junior Championships for Boys & Girls.
To make the tournaments more attractive to both top players and beginners at their first tournament, we have changed the format of the Junior Grand Prix so that depending on your ability/grade and age – you can enter any of 3 grading sections. Added to this we intend to introduce a new Swiss system that means that is more fair for all abilities and juniors and will ensure juniors will play the majority of games against players of the same ability. There will still be a wide range of prizes/medals for best boys & girls in each group for all age groups (U18, U14, U12, U11, U10, U9 and U8 depending on entry).
Major Section: The Bob Ross Major
