The KPS Chess Club had a great day on Wednesday at the Academy of Chess Tournament at Edmund Rice College. The school was represented by 17 wonderful players who played with great sportsmanship and skill in each of their 7 games.
KPS collected a Trophy, coming third in the Primary Schools division. Our team scored 18.5 points and ended only 1 point behind the team that took out the competition. Great results came from Clancy Sloan (5 wins from 7 games and an individual trophy for 5th place overall), Harry Hawker (4.5), Hilton Brown (4.5) and Archie Willetts (also 4.5 points).
Many other players in the team scored 3.5 or 4 points out of a possible 7, so it was a very strong team effort. The students are keen for the next events which will include the NSW Junior Chess League South Coast tournament (date to be advised) and another whole day Interschool Chess Challenge on Thursday 28 June. Well done to the whole team and congratulations on a great result!
