The National Schools Championship

[Neill Cooper]

It would be really helpful (for me anyway) if the junior community could tell us

a) which schools you think should be able to enter this event

and

b) which matches should be graded

One of the problems with this whole debate is that I don't think I've seen a coherent answer to these two questions.

a) I think any UK school should be able to enter the National Schools Chess Championships.
b) All matches where a suitably completed results sheet is submitted should be graded.

That was certainly the practice when I played in the competition over forty years ago.
