Lateefah Messam-Sparkes from London, a full-time chess professional, and IM Andrew Ledger from Sheffield were the 2 guest ECF‑accredited coaches.
A good game was shown initially to highlight how to develop in the opening. This was followed by a 4-round Swiss competition, in 3 sections depending on ability. Between play, general advice was given, and problem solving was shown.
Competition results were as follows:

Thanks for support from the ECF and Chess & Bridge, and various individual volunteers.
An excellent venue, and thanks to the school.
