Delancey UK Schools Chess Challenge is an annual competition where the best players in all schools (Primary and Secondary) go through a number of local, regional and National competitions to find the best player(s) in all age groups. The highest placed player in each school reaching a particular total will qualify for the Megafinal at Saddleworth School in May. Scoring 4 out of 6 in the MEGAFINAL qualifies you for Northern GIGAFINAL in July 16.
