Chess Interschool Tournament

A Chess Victoria Zonal Inter-school Tournament was held on Tuesday 18th June 2024, and Gardenvale Primary ranked 3rd amongst the 14 Schools that Participated (based on taking the top 4 students of each school).

Gardenvale players continue to be very adept and will progress to the state championships later in the year (having now qualified).

A total of 67 players competed and each one competed in a total of 7 rounds with progressively matched difficulty, i.e. players were paired with the stronger opponents as they won, and difficulty levels were reduced in case of losses. 0.5 points are awarded in the case of a draw.

Charlie M had an exceptional performance winning 6/7 games and winning the second place trophy. We look forward to more students supporting the team by attending the interschool tournament next term.
