A PUPIL from Dormer House School in Moreton-in-Marsh is set to compete in the Gloucestershire finals of The UK Chess Challenge.
Dylan Glockling, 11, competed with 25 other children from the independent school, winning all seven of his games.
He will now go through to the county finals, to be held in Cheltenham in May.
The UK Chess Challenge is an annual four-stage competition for school children, created by Michael Basman in 1996.
The first stage involves school chess clubs holding a qualifying competition to determine the strongest player for each gender-year combination.
Each such player qualifies to enter the county final, with north and south and over all finals held later in the year.
Last year’s UK champion was Joseph McPhillips.
