Youth Team Narrowly Loses to France

European Youth Go Team Competition
Sat, 9 Dec 2023

The UK youth team narrowly lost to France by two boards to three in the second round of the European Youth Team Competition. Our U12 boards, Ryan Zhang and Yanyi Xiong, both picked up wins. Ryan's game was particularly exciting culminating in a half-point win, with Yanyi again performing strongly against a higher-rated player to gain a 7.5-point win. Our two U16 boards, Alvina Kwok and Daniel Yang, fought hard but were not able to defeat their slightly stronger opponents. On the top board Scott Cobbold had an exciting game against Linh Vu Tu, a 4 dan, but ultimately had to resign.

European Youth Go Team Championship
Sat, 11 Feb 2023

The UK youth team played their final round match today in the European Youth Go Team Championship. The UK EYGTC team was drawn against Czechia and we knew that if we could win the match, and France could win against Romania, then we should finish in the medals. The same was true for our opponents. Both team managers tried to ensure we had a full team for the official match time so that it would be an exciting match.
