SBC Chess Club Update

SBC Chess Club —

The St Bede’s Chess Club participates in the New Zealand Secondary School Championships. This week was our second round. 

St Bede’s played four boards versus Ashburton College: John Tran, Sam Renton, George Hampton and Li Cheng all performed admirably and showed excellent sportsmanship (Brennt Entese is currently reserve). George won his match; the others gave Ashburton – who are currently top of the league table – a good run for their money.

In the coming few weeks, we will play Burnside A, Christchurch Boys’ A, and prepare for the finals in the Regional division.

On 10 August, Chess Power will host the Regional Chess Power competition, to which St Bede’s will take two teams (final lists to be announced).
