Your Opposition Adults should expect to play Mike Harris and juniors should expect to play Jaden Jermy. Depending on numbers in each category, strong juniors may be asked to play Mike or weaker adults to play Jaden. Read on for a little info on both possible opponents.
Mike Harris has an ECF Grade of 220, putting him at 73rd in the list of England’s top players. The grade is comfortably enough to earn the title of National Master. Using the standard formula that grade would convert to a FIDE rating of 2350, which would be enough to earn Mike the title of FM (FIDE Master).
Jaden Jermy has an ECF Grade of 164, putting him 12th in the list of England’s top u14 players and joint 100th in the list of u18s. Jaden won the Bury St Edmunds Club Championship in both 2017 and 2018 (confirmed just last week). Details of both events can be found on the club website. There have been some great articles on Jaden in the local press, for example here.
