Date set for Bury Junior Congress

The Bury St Edmunds Junior Chess Congress will take place on Sunday 5 March at the usual venue, Moreton Hall Community Centre.

There will be four sections: Under 18, Under 11, Under 9 and ‘My First Tournament’.   This latter section is designed to attract youngsters aged under 11 to enter an organised chess tournament for the first time.

The highest-placed qualifying entrant in the Under 18 section will be the EACU Junior Champion and will hold the trophy for one year.   To qualify, a player must either live in, or attend school, in Suffolk, Norfolk, Cambridgeshire, Befordshire or Hertfordshire.

Due to space restrictions, the total number of entrants will be limited to 100.
