Sarah Hegarty, CEO of UK Schools’ Chess Challenge and 2013 British Ladies Champion:
“Chess can take a few moments to learn the basics, but a lifetime to master. Trends and fads come and go but, despite being 1,500-years-old, chess remains hugely relevant among young people as evidenced by the huge number of players competing and the organisational infrastructure that exists in the UK and across the world.
“The Delancey UK Schools’ Chess Challenge has run every year for the last 22 years and has grown into the world’s largest chess competition – last year 40,000 children across 1,280 schools took part and more than 130,000 games of chess were played.
