At the weekend, Gregory competed in the Challenger section of the Wightlink Isle of Wight Chess Congress, an adult tournament rated by the English Chess Federation. He scored a fantastic 4.5/5 to win the tournament outright, receiving a beautiful glass trophy and the £75 first prize for his efforts.
Then on Sunday, Billy and Ajay competed in the Coventry Chess Academy Rapidplay. Ajay played in the Junior section and scored a fine 3.5/5 which included a draw against a member of the England national junior team. Billy played in the Master's section and scored a very creditable 2.5/5 in a section which included British chess legend International Master John Cooper who also presented both boys with their prizes at the tournament's end.
