The British Land
Challenge – Gigafinal
By Alana Stewart, P7
On the 16th
June, I went to Manchester
University to play in a
chess tournament. There were a lot of
people there and there were different sections: U/8, U/9 and U/10. They all played on Saturday. I was playing in the U/10 Girls’ because I
was nine last year.
In the
first game there was a huddle because everyone had to be seated. In the first round I played a girl called
Nicole. She was very nice; we drew the
round, so we both got half a point.
The second
round was in about 45 minutes so we waited.
In the second round it was the same as normal, that round passed
quickly. Rounds 3, 4 and 5 were good
because it was nearer the end and at the end its prize giving.
I got 2.5
points and I was very happy because I even got that far. I got a certificate to say well done and I
was very pleased.
