Good day to everyone.
We are ending our very good term of chess off with some excellent news: ALL our chess teams (under 11, 13 and Girls) have been selected to play in the District North Top Schools Playoffs on Saturday, the 1st of August.
We are ending our very good term of chess off with some excellent news: ALL our chess teams (under 11, 13 and Girls) have been selected to play in the District North Top Schools Playoffs on Saturday, the 1st of August.
This will imply that we will have to
sharpen our games with a few extra practises. For the first two weeks, we are
going to have special team practices on a Thursday afternoon as well, (the same
time as the other practises). We are also going to have a tournament on
the 25th of July at school. More info on that early next term. If your son or daughter played in a league
match this term, I really want them to play in this tournament.
Talking about tournaments and
sharpening our games - there is a big chess festival taking place in Cape Town
in the middle week of the holidays. There are three different types of
tournaments to choose from. The best for our learners are the Rapid (30
min a side) tournament on Thursday and Friday the 9th and 10th of July. If you can provide your child with the opportunity
to play in this very big tournament, his/her game would sharpen considerably
during the holidays. More information, click here.
I hope you enjoy the holidays.
Those of you driving far this holiday - drive safe and see you next term!
Kind regards.
