17 children took part in the event. Junior International player Young Fan Zhou just made it to round 3, Karl Howlett lost two games, so did Edward Offer, leaving it all up to U7 section to win the trophy! Once more I must address the younger players that chess doesn't know age difference but knowledge and you should not have a fear facing a teenager or an adult! Little ones proved it again! Well done all and congratulations to all qualifiers!

Good luck in Megafinals!
