CHESS REPORT- Term 2, 2025

The Evans High School chess club is thriving. Over 50 students are learning and developing their skills in chess through active participation in competitions and choosing chess as an elective. 

In Term one, we completed a successful chess competition where the winners were awarded trophies, and all participants received certificates. The results of this competition were:

Winner -     Manish  Shrestha

2nd Place  -  Arman Ashouri 

3rd Place  -  Ethan Huang

Eight of our top junior chess players competed in the inter-school chess tournament organised by the NSW Junior Chess League. The matches are played against other schools every Friday afternoon for 10 weeks. The finals will be played in weeks 1 and 2 of Term 3. 

Furthermore, fifteen of our chess players were chosen to represent our school in the Interschool Chess Challenge on June 26, 2025, at Mt Annan Christian College, sponsored by the Sydney Academy of Chess. 

Our school came second, and two boys won 5 of their 7 matches. They achieved a tie for fourth and each received medals. Congratulations to Xavier Jesus from Year 8 and Hizqeel Butt from Year 7.

Congratulations to all chess players for proudly representing Evans High/IEC in various chess competitions.
