What an exciting time we had at the Moss Vale heat of the Sydney Chess Academy interschool competition on Thursday. The big news is that we now have two (yes two!) teams qualify for the regional semi-finals. Ava Sloan, Zevvy Evans, Charlie Coddington and Gustav Fjellstad's scores were counted for the school as they took out the second place trophy for Kiama Public School.
They will now join Harry Hawker, Clancy Sloan, Archie Willetts and Hilton Brown who qualified at the last interschool competition in Wollongong (and who's scores couldn't be used this time). Lewis Hatswell and Seth Goldstein will also be on the way to the finals as each team will have 5 players, and these two have played very well in both competitions. The location and date of the semi-final hasn't been announced yet.
In the individual competition, Clancy Sloan played exceptionally well and took home the second place trophy. Congratulations to all our players. You have represented the school with great distinction.
