From mega to giga ...

Such a busy bank holiday so sorry I didn't blog earlier.

I went to the chess Megafinal on Saturday. There were hundreds (thousands?) of kids there from across Sussex. Everyone had qualified through their schools or clubs and there were children of all ages.

I came 3rd in my age group. The boy who won was the best under9 in Susaex - he got 5.5 points out of 6. The boy who came second and me both got 5 points but he came second because of the points left on the board during his games - it is a bit like goal difference I think.

My 5 points mean I have qualified to play in the gigafinal in Reading in July - a day before we go in holiday. Mum says it is really lucky she booked the tickets for the Sunday not Saturday! Amardip qualified too and we are friend's again now after our argument about Spurs versus Arsenal.

After the final we raced home. Cosi had been at a party and Zilly had had the usual day of Stagecoach and piano and we were heading to Burton that afternoon/evening to see the Clarksons ...
