Chess Tournament Awards

Our autumn tournament was very well attended with over 40 boys signing up to take part from Years 2 to 6. Medals were awarded for the best performing boy in each year and trophies were presented to the winners and runners up at Under 9 and Under 11.

Medal winners for Best in Year were as follows:

Year 6 = Alex Pearce

Year 5 = Téo Rybak

Year 4 = Samuel Tschiesche

Year 3 = Hou Ning Zhu (Kida)

Year 2 = Peter Babcock

The top four places in the tournament saw a Junior Boys Chess Award Winner tie on 6/7 and so a tiebreak on progressive scores was used. This determined the trophy winners. The Best Under 9 was Hou Ning Zhu, with Josh Sharma as Runner Up. The Best Under 11 was Téo Rybak with Sam Jeffery coming second.

Mr Richard Hogg, Teacher said;
“Very well done to all who took part. We hope that our termly tournaments encourage the boys to get into and improve their chess.”
