On Saturday 7 March, the Coventry Junior Chess Open took place. Organised by the Warwickshire Chess Association and rated by the English Chess Federation, it attracted a turnout of 118 entries, including a number of boys from Warwick.

Bronze medals were won by Ansh and Alex in Year 4 and by Jason and Archie in year 5. This was a great achievement for Archie in particular as it marked the first time he has medalled in a tournament after several attempts; testament to his progress, persistence and determination.

Warwick's big hitter of the day was James who won a silver medal in a very strong U11 Group A and did not lose a single game!

A huge well done to all the boys who competed!
