On Sunday, 23 March, the Coventry Junior Open took place. This English Chess Federation rated chess tournament attracted a huge turnout of over 140 children, including a sizeable contingent from Warwick Junior School.

Some outstanding results were achieved! Bo was by far the youngest participant in the U18 Group C, but he scored a fantastic 3.5/5 for a silver medal, performing well above his rating in the process. In the U11 Group C, Sammy won bronze with 3/5, as did Jason in U11 Group D. In U11 Group E, Diego produced a tour-de-force performance in his first tournament outside of school to win gold and the section outright with 4.5/5. Then in U8 Group E, Alex won silver with a super 4/5.

Congratulations to all the prize winners and a big well done to each and every Warwick player!
