Top 10 for week 6 at 19/2/2013

Hello everyone.

I'm doing this at this time of the week, because I won't have time after this week's Thursday.  My wife and I are moving into our new house and its going to be hectic!  We had two practises and I'll change the Top 10 once two practises is complete.

At this time, I don't know if we will have chess practise on Thursday or not, but will let the players know tomorrow. (Wednesday)

So, the updated Top 10 for this week, its changes from last week and new entries, if applicable:

Pos	Name	Grade	Pos change
1	Chad McKenzie	6E	=
2	Matthew Rohloff	6E	=
3	Izerie Lavember	7A	+1
4	JJ Oosthuizen	5A	-1
5	Keegan Walker	7E	+4
6	Alex McKenzie	4E	=
7	Luke Roos	4E	-2
8	Jacques Claasesen	7E	-1
9	Trevor Rademeyer	7A	+1
10	Craig Strydom	6E	-2

The biggest improvement in rakings: Keegan, from 9th  to 5th
No new entries!

We do have a couple of players 'knocking on the door' to enter the top 10, but the qualifying criteria is to have played at least 10 games at this time.

Chess Quiz 3

Hello everyone!

I created a new chess quiz, using the website: http://www.go4quiz.com

Please click here to enjoy the newest quiz on the blog.  In the beginnnig I ask that you must count the number of questions you have correct, please don't forget.

At the start of the each question (except nr.1), you will find out of the previous question was correct or not.

Enjoy!

First practise upset and Top 10

Good evening parents

We had a very good practise session today!  The beginners filled in our Beginners class chess quiz and we had our first upset - Luke, grade 4, beat our reigning practise champ - Chad, grade 6.  Till today, Chad hasn't lost a game - he had a full score of 14 / 14!

Congratulations Luke!

After today's matches, I have the ability to compile our first Top 10 list.  It is as follows:

Pos

Name

Grade

1	Chad McKenzie	6E
2	Matthew Rohloff	6E
3	JJ Oosthuizen	5A
4	Izerie Levember	7A
5	Luke Roos	4E
6	Alex McKenzie	4E
7	Jacques Claasesen	7E
8	Craig Strydom	6E
9	Keegan Walker	7E
10	Trevor Rademeyer	7A

The more games the players play, the more interesting the top 10 get.  So keep on playing your own sections  players and give in your score.

Enjoy your preparations!

WP Schools Chess District Trials results

Good morning everyone

The full results (I think) will be available on the wepsso website.  Please remember to check if your child has made the team or not and then confirm participation and t-shirt size.  Also remember, it is not to say that if he is not in the top ten, that he is not in the team - if there are girls in the top ten, then the 11th or 12th place player is also included in the team!

JUST A NOTE: THIS IS NOT THE TEAMS FOR THE WP CLOSED, IT IS JUST THE RESULTS AS I READ THEM OUT YESTERDAY AT THE PRIZE GIVING!!

The primary school's results per section is as follows:  Only the top 10 players per section.

I will post some pictures and our schools players' results later in the day. 

Have a great day and week!

:-)
