Great result for Year 9 student

Beni, one of Latymer's top chess players, participated in the recent grand final of the UK Chess Challenge at Blenheim Palace. The competition is the strongest junior chess event in the UK and one of the largest junior chess tournaments in the world.

It is played across a number of stages throughout the year during which thousands participate in the earlier stages and only 12 from each age category qualify for the grand final.

His final result was 10th position in the under 14 category. Well done Beni!
