Williamwood High School Chess Club Tournament

The annual tournament has come to a very close final game after Matthew and Abhi battled it out, first drawing, then reaching a tense end.  Matthew (S5) came first and has been crowned the top player in the school – congratulations!  A close runner up prize went to Abhi (S3) and third prize to Kester (S2).  This year, the tournament was bigger than ever, with around 40 competitors who played each week from January – June.  The club is one of the biggest in the school and members enjoyed an end of term party last week with cakes, drinks and prizes for every competitor!  Thanks to the pupils (Eilidh S6, Jonah S6 and Abhi S3) who managed the online tournament, dealing amazingly well with absences and draws.   Well done all – keep “chess-ing” over the summer!
