Chess Competition
On the 26th of August a Chess Competition for girls was held at Selwyn House School from Years 3 - 13. Selwyn House had 5 teams that entered - three teams in Year 7 and 8, one team in Year 5 and 6, and one team in year 3 and 4.
Each girl played 6 chess games in total. If you won a game, that was worth 2 points and if you lost a game you scored 0 points. If you drew a game you scored 1 point per player. Each person in your team had a number - 1, 2, 3 or 4. Number 1 was your captain. Number 1 played the oppositions’ number 1 and number 2 played the oppositions’ number 2 etc.
One of our own Year 7 and 8 teams (the A team) came first in the Year 7 and 8 category. This earned each girl a medal and a trophy for the school.
Congratulations girls!

ReplyDeleteThank you,
Deletewe have a chess club and we practise after school. But not everyone who was in the chess competition goes to chess club. We just needed to know how to play chess to enter the competition.
