17/11/2019 York Girls’ Chess Day, 2019
Another Girls’ Chess Day was held on Saturday 16th November 2019 at Queen Margaret’s School Escrick near York.
The aim of the day was to develop chess skills and have an enjoyable time. 10 girls attended and the day was comprised of two items:
1. Noel Stewart from York demonstrated on a display board a famous game which demonstrated how to build up an attack on the King, and the power of the 2 bishops. It was a game won by Alexandra Kosteniuk (Women's World Chess Champion from 2008 to 2010).
2. A Swiss competition was held over 5 rounds and resulted as follows:
This second session also showed how to record games and how to use digital clocks.

Many thanks to helpers Noel Stewart, Mike and Bradley Triffitt from York.
This was the first time we had used the excellent Library facilities of the School. It is hoped later to again use them for the Pennine Cup early next year.
