ANOTHER outstanding performance by Adam Hunt enabled him to win his third International Master Norm at the European Under 20 Championships in Spain.
This means that at the next World Chess Federation meeting he will be awarded the title of International Master.
His score of 6T/11 was not enough to win a medal, but the Hunt family now has two IMs, Harriet and Adam.
Another exceptional performance was that of Jonathan Lappage. At the final of the UK Chess Challenge, which had an original entry of 40,000, Jonathan finished equal first scoring 4/5, but received the bronze medal on tie-break.
The MCS pupil received over 300 prize money, which will help to pay his costs at the European U14 Championships in Greece next month. He will be accompanied by Claire Morris, who will play in the European U12 Girls' Championship. Naomi Miller scored 2/5 in the UK Chess Challenge final.
