October 2024 Junior Training Camp

25 primary school children from Warwickshire attended the inaugural Warwickshire Junior Training Camp. It was held at Solihull School on 29th and 30th October, 2024. The training was provided by FIDE Master Nick Thomas and National Master Paul Lam. Training camps are a new invite-only initiative for children within Warwickshire who are likely to represent our junior county teams during the season. A second camp has already been arranged for January in Coventry. Children learnt about openings, endgames, and using their time properly. A rated mini-tournament was held in the afternoons. Warwickshire Chess Association would like to thank Solihull School for hosting the camp, and allowing us to use their excellent facilities.
