12th Teesside Individual Chess Championships: Results

The 12th Teesside Individual Chess Championships, held at Yarm Preparatory School, proved to be another great success, with 93 entries from 15 different schools.

The standard control team of Catherine Lloyd and myself was joined by Jessica Lloyd, who recently completed her work experience at the school.

We also had guest appearances by CSC tutors Nicola Harrington and Chris Swales, both of whom helped with the organisational side of things and to encourage the children from their respective schools.

Here are the results from our busy day (a gallery will follow in the next blog post).
