28/03 Interschool Chess Tournament

(Written by Owen Arnold & Haziel Antonio.)

On Tuesday 28th March, our chess inquiry group ventured to the chess interschool tournament at MacKillop Catholic College. With Mr.Skierka running the emmanuel inquiry chess team, they ventured to play chess with other schools.


With a tough finish, friends school ended up winning, but good sportsmanship is always important, so congrats to them! We went over and asked some questions referring to the tournament and here were the general answers.

It was a great day for the chess club, many students were able to see others they knew and even went against some. The way the tournament worked was everyone going against each other, if you were to win you’d continue to go against someone else who won! If you were to lose, well you’d go against another who lost. There were 7 rounds of games, unfortunately, emmanuel lost in both categories.
