About Barnet Junior Chess
The Aims of the Organisation
Barnet Junior Chess aims to:
1. Promote the teaching and playing of the game of chess amongst school-age children throughout the London Borough of Barnet (L.B.B).
3. Ensure the best training and support for those representing the London Borough of Barnet in competitive matches.
Barnet Junior Chess exists to promote chess amongst school children in the London Borough of Barnet and surrounding areas. We run a schools’ league and a jamboree for school Under 9 and Girls’ Under 11 teams. Schools entering these are expected to affiliate, the affiliation fee is £15 per annum.
Barnet Junior Chess is affiliated to EPSCA (English Primary Schools’ Chess Association) and enters teams for the EPSCA Under 11, Under 9 and Girls’ Under 11 Championships. More about playing for the Barnet teams...
We run an Individual Tournament in January which attracts a large entry from all over London and acts as the final selection tournament for our teams. We also run a Girls’ Individual Tournament usually in November or December.

For Barnet U12s and U18s we also enter the National Youth Chess Association Championships, held in different locations yearly.
