Our England Junior LIChess online tournaments continue this week, so please see the links below and get signed up for our various tournaments.
These are proving popular with 118 players already involved so far in 2024, with 10 (or more) players in each of our last 9 events.
We have had 24 new juniors join the LIChess team in May which is incredible – if your child has joined recently I would love to know how you found out about the team as someone/somewhere is doing a great publicity job
Please continue to publicise these amongst your ECF Junior communities.
Please note we will be trialing a chess.com “Slow Rapid” on the 2nd Saturday of each month, the first one will be on 8th June
– if these prove popular we will run more of these via https://www.chess.com/club/england-juniors
