UK schools\' chess challenge

The Delancey UK Schools’ Chess Challenge

The Chess Challenge began in 1996 and was an immediate success, with 700 schools entering, involving approximately 23,000 children. Last year competitor figures hit 63,000 and 1,900 schools entered.  The structure of the tournament is simple, allowing the most inexperienced players to compete in the early stages, yet testing the mettle of the finest at the end.

Sponsored by Delancey, the UK Schools’ Chess Challenge begins every Spring Term, and continues over four stages and eight months. In the first stage children compete week by week in schools all over the UK. Every child is able to win prizes, whether badges, gold spots, mascots, trophies and even baseball caps, so every child has something to play for. 

Chess is one of the most enjoyable and exciting ways for children to learn how to develop and improve their logical and abstract thinking, their decision-making skills and creativity, and Delancey is delighted to support it through sponsorship of the UK Schools’ Chess Challenge.
