It was lovely to see a number of WHS Juniors’ girls compete in the Surrey Chess Megafinals at Leatherhead on 4th May.
For a number of girls it was their first time playing chess in a tournament setting with clocks, and everyone had long and competitive games.
Aarya S, Elin C (Y4) and Emma S (Y3) have all qualified for the National Gigafinals that take place in July.
Special congratulations to Aarya for coming 2nd in her U-9 section with 5 wins out of 6 games and to Emma and Elin who were playing their first tournament outside school.
