The UK Chess Challenge, proudly sponsored by Delancey, first took place in 1996 and has since grown into one of the largest junior chess tournaments in the world. Over 1 million children have taken part since 1996! The list of previous winners includes several grandmasters and international players. This Gigafinal tournament is a qualifying event for the Terafinal which takes place 18-19 October. Each Gigafinal is a one-day event with each player playing 7 rounds of chess. Certificates for all and trophies/medals for the top finishers in each section.
