These students qualified for the final by doing well competing in tournaments last term. They each played 9 rounds of chess in the state final, with all of them having some success throughout the day. Over 450 students from around Victoria were competing.A BIG congratulations to Maanas N for winning his first 8 games and receiving a Silver medal in the Year 9/10 division and coming 4th overall!!
