Chess club- first tournament!

Congratulations to our chess club on their first tournament yesterday. Here is a report from Bart and Anna: ‘Everyone had their own login on Lichess. Once everyone was in, there was a three minute timer and when that went off, everyone started to play chess. You played against the clock for seven minutes. There were about 250 players, 50 teams online. It wasn’t easy, there were very good players there. You could have as many queens as pawns because it is online. It was extremely fun. It was stressful too as there was a timer and you had to go as fast as you could! The entire tournament was about 40 minutes. We came thirteenth out of fifty teams. It is our first ever competition with chess club so we were very proud. We would like to thank Sharon and Ms. Murphy for all their hard work!’
