Congratulations to Joshua, his family and Lorin!

That is superb. Also, congratulations to the JD - Phil Ehr and his team for ensuring that the U8s/so many went to Prague. This is why these tournaments are important to juniors - it will boost Joshua and English Junior Chess to have him do so well and all the best to all going to the Worlds in the not so distant future - possibly/hopefully some more titles and medals!
