Ulster Players excel at the Delancey UK chess Challenge Giga-finals

Over the weekend of 14th, 15th July 2018 seven players representing Ulster excelled at the Delancey UK Giga-finals in Manchester.

The players playing all qualified at the Belfast Mega-finals held in May at Methodist College. Some 40,000 youngsters play in the UK tournament. Only the top 5% reach the Giga-Finals- so our players were playing against the top players in  their age groups in the Country. Its always good to see local players doing well playing outside of Ulster.
