UK CHESS CHALLENGE 2000
17.1.00, updated 5.4.00
This year's "British Land" UK Chess Challenge is the biggest ever. Mike Basman reports the fifth successive increase, with 1193 schools and 39,392 players. For the last couple of seasons at least, the entry has been pretty well weighted in the direction of primary schools. They've been hoping to correct that, and it will be interesting to see whether they have. No information on that point yet.
     Figures for SCCU counties: Surrey 146 schools (5063 players); Middx 80 (2850); Essex 66 (2178); Kent 50 (1775); Herts 37 (1226); Sussex 33 (1080); Cambs 26 (525); Berks 28 (855); Bucks 230 (720); Oxon 17 (525).
     Surrey top the league nationally, in terms of bare totals. Middx are 3rd. Basman gives a ranking based on population of county, which puts Surrey second behind Rutland (and Middx 12th, and Cambs 3rd). When you're the size of Rutland, the odd school one way or the other makes a lot of difference. There are three. Bottom, in raw terms, are Westmorland and the Isle of Man with one school each. But that's not counting the ones with nought. There are some.
     The UK Chess Challenge has an official presence on the SGCL site, which will publish full results of the Megafinals (end April) as and when available.

EPSCA U11 TEAMS: SOUTH-EAST ZONE at Colfes School London SE12, 18th March 2000
Richmond won the exhibition, and Wey Valley won the competition. 1 Richmond 48½/60; 2 Wey Valley 39; 3 Kent 35; 4 Sussex 34; 5 Barnet 33½; 6 NW London 26½; 7 Essex 23½; 8 Herts 21; 9 S London 9½. The top four teams qualified for the Final. Last game to finish, a Sussex win against Barnet on board 2, was exciting and critical. [Why the scores add up to half a point more than they ought to is unclear. It could be an rjh copying error at the end of the event. The positions are right.]
Reserves: 1-2 Kent, Wey Valley 8/12... Only four teams (Kent, Wey Valley, Richmond and Sussex) had the full complement of four reserves.
We understand 18.3.00 from Carl Tillotson that the Northern qualifiers are Manchester, Yorkshire, Lancashire and Oldham in that order. Ten teams competed.

BIRMINGHAM & DISTRICT U14 QUICKPLAY 29th January 2000
This annual event, a five-round Swiss for school teams of eight, always attracts a small SCCU contingent. Last year's winners, Magdalen College School, were not there this year and it fell to someone else to uphold the honour of the Union. In a field of twenty teams, mostly local, three were identifiably SCCU; and St Olaves GS Orpington won with a perfect match-point score.
     1 St Olaves 10/10; 2 Queen Elizabeths Wakefield 8; 3 King Edwards Camp Hill Birmingham A 8; 4 Monmouth School 7; 5 Queen Elizabeths Barnet A 7... The St Olaves team was Edmund Birkhamshaw 108; Michael Muttiah 93; Tim Segal; Danny Bulger; Michael Marrow 81; Zackerey Bennett 98; Steven Biggs; William Burtt 65. Oh, and St Olaves won the Reserves tournament.
     The school celebrated by winning their Times Zone five days later, beating Winchester College A 3½-2½ in the final.
