    Junior Four Nations League - a report by Mike Truran This season’s competition was bigger and better than ever, with teams of all ages competing over three weekends in two separate divisions. Like its senior equivalent, the Junior Four Nations Chess League (J4NCL) has the advantage of taking place in excellent qual- ity playing conditions in premier hotels across the UK. This season’s competition took place at Barcelo UK’s flagship Hinckley Island Hotel, so parents could also have a relaxing week- end away at a top four-star hotel while their children locked horns over the chess board. And with bedrooms and meals at the usual discounted 4NCL rates it meant that a family weekend away wasn’t going to break the bank either. 1 As well as the high quality playing conditions, the J4NCL and winning team members being presented with medals differentiates itself from most other junior events in and a trophy. So everyone got something to take home as offering free structured coaching between rounds for all a memento. the children, and the coaches also go through games on a one-to-one basis with any juniors who finish their games The standard of the chess was generally excellent, and early. This season’s coaches (GM Nick Pert, IM Andrew various parents commented on how much better many of Martin and WFM Sabrina Chevannes) did a fine job; on the juniors were playing by the third weekend compared occasion the job seemed (to this observer at least) to be as with the first. Children do of course improve fast at this much an exercise in riot control as anything else, but the age, but we like to think that the J4NCL coaching had coaches all came through in grand style and we had lots of something to do with it as well! Nonetheless, in any event compliments from parents about the quality of the coach- with a range of chess playing ability some memorable ing.

Unfortunately, the denial of a player to play a game was not the only negative in the story. The action was promoted at the highest level, the player becomes an example who fulfilled his dream to meet the country leader and the message of hate was sent through chess is clear enough. There is a view till now with many supporters, even in official positions, that tolerating these actions, we protect and give the chance to more people to play chess as also more states to support financially our sport. ECU Secretary General Theodoros Tsorbatzoglou But is this our role in chess? When we adjust in silence our rules, we do not the same time justify and these policies? We do not encourage, political leaders or chief priests of any religion or extreme groups to apply more rules for us and promote their hate policies through sports?

The complete results and the final standings may be seen here The prize giving was attended by the board of the European Chess Union and started with a projected greeting by the Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
