Adam gets his England call

13-year old Adam Taylor, who has recently joined the Manningtree club, has been selected to play for England in the World Youth Chess Championships, to be held in Maribor, Slovenia, between 7 and 19 November.

Graded 181, Adam has already achieved solid draws against Tim Lunn and Ed Player in the Suffolk League this season. His rise has been meteoric; just three years ago his grade was 73.
