The ChessKid UK Championships took place on Saturday, June 5th and included more than 400 ChessKids from across the United Kingdom, including England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, Isle of Man, the Channel Islands, and all British Overseas Territories.
So, which ones will get to have a mini-camp with a British GM?
