Emma scored a respectable 1.5 points
amongst the toughest competition you could imagine for a ten year old. Monday
saw eight hours play in two games. The first game lasting four hours fifteen
minutes and the second three hours forty five. After the first draw against a
137 grade she was paired with a Fide master graded at 2066.Emma ELO 1365. That's
tough for a junior and her only comment was " I have learnt a great deal this
week." Of course being the lowest graded there means you only play stronger
players. Emma is very grateful for the coaching and help given to her this week
from almost everyone she played. Special thanks to Tony Blades, Alexandra Wilson
and Ray Cannon.

BBC News Look North interview with Emma.
Emma
started playing chess in June 2005. Her first competition was at the Abbey Hotel
Sheffield later that Summer in the Woodseats Cup. Organised and run by the
Sheffield and District Chess Association. Emma had never
seen a chess clock at that time and had a crash course in their use five minutes
before play commenced. She actually won one game out of six that night. Emma was
introduced to the juniors at the SASCA Chess Club, Handsworth Christian School,
Sheffield. She joined the Monday night club and by November she entered and won
the Sheffield Under 9 Championship for boys and girls.
