Aleksander won the Ulverston Junior tournament on Saturday winning all of his games. Woody who recently came to play chess to the Club took 2nd place and Jude who also just started finished quite high, too.

Michal and Jacob who come regularly to our Club also played very well winning most of their games against strong opponents.
