Nicholas played in his first chess tournament last weekend (Surrey Hundreds). We weren't sure what to expect and were really surprised to find a hall full of hundreds of eager children waiting to get started. Nicholas did really well winning 4 out of his 5 games (as well as 2 friendlies). He was one of a couple of runners up with a score of 13 out of a possible 15 and won a rosette for his efforts. A nice surprise was that he won his 'borough' group within the bigger U7 age group. A great start to his professional chess career!
