19 Jan Are you a “Black Knight Tango” or “Sicilian Defence”?
Good Luck!
RCS Grand-Master Chess Tournament started in the first week back. The last six days have seen students battle in round 1 and 2. By the end of this week there will be sixteen students’ left to go through and battle it out next week.
The tournament entry was open to all year groups and an amazing forty-two students signed up to play!
Students have been playing others from different year groups during their break and lunchtimes in the hope of progressing to the final stages.
There have been some very different games in terms of pace and strategy. In a couple of games, it has been down to the last few pieces on the board. It has been a privilege to watch the students develop their play and see some of the amazing sportsmanship between them.
One or two of the games have been quite one-sided. However, in most cases the more confident player has taken the time to offer advice and guidance at the end of the game – great spirit.
Congratulations to all those who entered and played. Good luck to those who are still in the competition!
Updates in next newsletter as the tournament progresses to the Quarter-Final & Semi-Final stage.
