The 8th Teesside Individual Junior Chess Championships attracted over 100 entries from a plethora of schools and clubs.
There were great battles for honours in all four sections, with some big surprise results and lots of excellent concentration and determination shown throughout the busy day.
We even managed to order the sun for the day, despite it making only brief appearances over the last couple of weeks.
Yarm Preparatory School hosted the tournament yet again and the school's staff made everything ready and everyone welcome.
A gallery will follow soon, but today we present the official results.
We never use tie-breakers or play-offs to decide our titles. Shared places simply means we award more trophies and medals.
Everyone received a certificate for attendance and all players finishing in the top three places in each section also received a special certificate to show their place.
As I keep on saying, titles, trophies and medals are all very well but they are never the main point of our tournaments. The most important aspect is that everyone takes part, enjoys the day and comes away with some ideas of how to improve their play.
Well done, everyone!
