Terafinalists: Celebrating Chess Excellence!

At Chess Rising Stars London Academy we are bursting with pride as we announce two of our brightest stars, Ashwin and Aden, have secured highly coveted qualification spots for the U10 Terafinals of the prestigious UK Chess Challenge!

At the Northampton Challengers tournament, Aden scored an impressive 7.5/9 and finished 2nd, while Ashwin collected 7 points in 3rd.

From Thousands to Sixty

The UKCC is one of the largest junior chess tournaments in the world. An initial field of tens of thousands of children is now down to just 60.

The road to chess mastery is not for the faint-hearted. It’s a journey filled with late-night endgame puzzles and a thirst for tactics that can outwit even the most seasoned opponents. Aden and Ashwin have taken another step down this road.

A Historic Venue Awaits

Our dynamic duo, Ashwin and Aden, will now prepare for the grand finale at the illustrious Blenheim Palace. This historic venue, steeped in centuries of British heritage, will bear witness to their tactical prowess and strategic finesse. Notably, several previous winners of this tournament have gone on to achieve the Grandmaster title.

A Trio of Triumph

Another shining star from our constellation, Sheng, will be joining Ashwin and Aden at the Terafinals. Sheng’s has earned the distinction of qualifying as the top U10 girl from the Online Gigafinals, a testament to her determination and skill on the virtual chessboard.

Wishing our Students the Very Best

We invite you to join us in wishing Ashwin, Aden, and Sheng the very best. Their dedication, talent, and unwavering commitment are a source of inspiration. We are excited to witness the next chapter in their journeys towards chess improvement.

Stay tuned for updates from the Terafinals in October.
