The Junior School have recently set up a new chess club and today's event saw a number of KGJS pupils taking part, alongside pupils from other local schools. The congress is an important event to evaluate players for the Lancashire U9 and U11 county teams. In addition to a full timetable of chess games, the event also included coaching sessions before the day concluded with a prizegiving. Well done to everyone who took part in today's event, we hope you all enjoyed your day at KGS.
