Congratulations to Dylan Whitney on his performance today at the UK Schools Chess Challenge Mega Final in Bristol. A score of 4.5/6 saw him take 5th place out of 42 competitors, just a point behind the winner, and a place in the Giga Finals being held over the weekends of 9th/10th July (Northern) and 23rd/24th July (Southern). I don't know whether he will be playing in the Northern or Southern Section - I'm sure he'll let us know !! If he gets through the Giga Finals he will qualify for the Challengers event in Daventry over the weekend of 17th/18th September. His final goal will then be to qualify for the Tera Final being held at Blenheim Palace in October.

Go Dylan !!!!!
