Chess News
23 Feb 2010 8:56AM
As you may all be aware, Rosemead has a tradition of being strong at chess and in achieving great results at national level, most notably, Runners-up in the U9s National Primary School Championships in 2008 and currently Winners of the U11s Champions League Chess National School Championships. Presently our U11s will be competing in the semi-finals of the National Primary School Championships in June. With such a strong tradition and under the guidance of our chess Grandmaster, Mr. Rumens, we are keen to encourage Rosemead pupils to play in the Kent Junior Chess Association tournaments and, in turn, to gain the opportunity to represent Kent at national level and continue our tradition of great Rosemead successes. Currently, we have the following pupils who play for Kent; Raphael K, Hector H, Ianto J and Angharad J.
Forthcoming KJCA tournaments include 20th February GP4 and 7th March GP5. You can download an entry form from KJCA as well as register online. If you have any questions relating to playing in a tournament or entry into a GP please email Thierry Huser.
