There will be separate sections for:
- Under 9 (year 4 and under),
- Under 11 (years 5 & 6),
- Under 18 (year 7 – year 13),
All ages are as at 31st August 2014.
All sections are open to all abilities.
Players will be eligible to win one prize only.
We would particularly like to encourage children aged 11 and over to
enter these competitions, as there is often less opportunity for this age
group to play. Wiltshire Junior Chess run older age group teams (U13,
U15 & U18) who play in national competitions and this is a good
opportunity to be selected for these teams.
