Isobel has been at it again on the chessboard with more success to report. She has won the Northern Girls U-12 Gigafinal on the 6th July. She got a nice trophy and £50, but better still she is now known as an Ultima, something akin to a girls master title. Next she is taking part in a tournament for the best sixty girls and boys U-18 in Sheffield in August. Congratulations again.
