There were 4 Gigafinals held in the 2019 Delancey UK Schools Chess Challenge: Northern, Midlands and two in South-East England. This is the next stage on from the Megafinals, held across the UK earlier this year.
It’s great to see so many Somerset junior players representing the region in the Gigafinals, too many to mention all by name, but congratulations to everyone who reached this stage of the competition.
The local Megafinals took place over recent weekends and final results have now been published on the UK Schools’ Chess Challenge website:

The Gigafinal stage of the Delancey UK Schools Chess Challenge 2018 was held over 3 venues: Southern, Midlands and Northern. Many regulars on the Somerset Junior Chess circuit qualified and have been battling it out with some
of the best junior chess players in the country.
Top 3 in each section at a Gigafinal qualified for the Terafinal, and anyone scoring 4 or more points outside of the Top 3 qualified for The Challengers event (Northern or Southern section).
