Good morning players and parents
What a Friday the 14th it has been! (Luckily in a good way and not a bad, Friday the 13th way!)
Not only did we celebrate Pi Day in the morning, but we had two chess tournaments taking place simultaneously in the hall in the afternoon. Both the Junior and Senior tournaments took place, after the junior tournament had to be postponed due to a fumigation taking place in the school that Friday.
I am proud to say that both tournaments and the Pi Day celebration was a huge success. Congratulations to Joshua Snyman in the grade 5E1 class, who remembered 116 Pi digits in the correct order!
Back to the tournament results though.
The juniors' top 10 results were as follows:
10th Kristin Izaks 1.5 out of 3 (only lost one game)
9th Neelan Koopman 1.5 / 3
8th Safa Hassiem 1.5 / 3
7th Nica Oosthuizen 1.5 / 3 (She is in grade 3!)
6th Britney Cupido 1.5 / 3
5th Ethan Boois 2 / 3
4th Daniel Snyman 2 / 3
3rd Marius van Schalkwyk 2.5 / 3
2nd Ntsika Ketsekile 2.5 / 3

The seniors' top 10 results were as follows:
10th JJ Oosthuizen 2 / 4
9th Alex Mckenzie 2 / 4
8th Wouter Rademeyer 3 / 4
7th Trevor Rademeyer 3 / 4
6th TC Theron 3 / 4
5th Craig Strydom 3 / 4
4th Tyler Pretorius 3 / 4
3rd Kyle Naidoo 3 / 4
2nd Luke Roos 3 / 4
1st Corbyn Blows 4 / 4
Congratulations Corbyn!
Just a note, the players with the same score (3 / 4), are separated by Tie Breaks.
At this time, I don't have fast wireless internet, thus I can't load the photos that I took. I will load it in the week.
Congratulations to the winners, and congratulations to the players for the sportsmanship that I saw.
I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.
This week, we only have chess practise on Tuesday, as Thursday is the start of the long weekend.
:-)
Here we want to keep all our chess parents up to date (electronically) with what's up with chess at Aristea Primary. Just remember, all the new posts are on top.
