Our last junior club session of the year ended in a 4-round mini-tournament with prizes. The prize for best beginner - a chess book by former world champion Garry Kasparov - was won by Edward, while 1st and 2nd prizes were decided by a final-round showdown between Samson and Laurence. Laurence was unlucky to let slip a winning position when he captured with the wrong piece and allowed a pin against his king, but both he and Samson received the same prize anyway, a hardback chess scorebook in which to record their games. Hopefully, their next encounter will appear in those books!
