Quality Juniors 800+

Quality Juniors

Online Chess Tournament

Suitable for Juniors aged 6 to 16. 

There are many tournaments available online for kids these days, however most have a very short time limit which are better suited for more experienced players. Although fast games may be great fun for the kids, they are of little benefit in helping them improve and can form “bad move” habits. They do not allow enough time for players to think through complicated positions to properly calculate exchanges and combinations or apply their knowledge and in some cases can do more harm than good. This tournament of 7 rounds with longer time limits, will give players that extra time they need for planning and applying techniques which they have learned and will help them improve.
