Congratulations team, Nationals here we come!What a result for our Chess teams at the Checkmate Schools Challenge. The team needed a win over Waimate to qualify for Nationals and they got it. 🙌
A special mention goes to our Year 9 players, who all performed exceptionally well. Harris Green pulled off the biggest upset, while Jack Barry achieved the biggest gain. Kim Endino also had a fantastic result, taking out 3rd overall.
An amazing effort from all our players! Their determination, teamwork and commitment have paid off. ♟️

Well done, congratulations 😁🎉👌
So proud! Great bunch of students! Mr McGregor would be so proud of you all.
The usual headaches at events like this are hand-done pairings, long gaps between rounds, and everyone asking the organiser what their score is. ChessHost sorts all three: QR sign-in, one tap pairings, live standings on a screen. Free for a small event each month. www.ChessHost.app
