Delancey UK Chess Challenge Northern Megafinal

Day 2: Under 12s, Under 14s and Under 18s

The Northern Megafinal is being held on Saturday 9th July and Sunday 10th July, 2022, at Wright Robinson College, Abbey Hey Lane, Gorton, Manchester. The under 8s and under 10s play on the Saturday, and the under 12s, under 14s and under 18s play on the Sunday. Some age groups were split into two groups, each supplying qualifiers for the Terafinal (ultimate final) on 15-16th October at Blenheim Place. There are 7 rounds in each section. The playing schedule for each section is:

Round	Start
1	10.00
2	11.15
3	12.15
Grab some lunch
4	13.45
5	14.45
6	15.45
7	16.45

The time control is 15 minutes per game with 10 seconds added per move played.

There were 11 (after an apparent withdrawal) Yorkshire players in action on day 2, in the under 12s, U-14s and U-18s. There was not the same level of success as on the previous day, but Nathan Mazdia came a creditable 4th= in the U-12 Boys B, and was highest placed of the Yorkshire players on Day 2.

All (unless some have been missed) Yorkshire players’ final totals etc were as follows:
