Solefield Wins Chess Tournament

8th December 2022

This week Solefield took a team of Six Senior boys to the Sevenoaks School Chess Tournament. This event was co-hosted by the English Chess Federation and the Kent Junior Chess Association. Each school that participated, played three rounds of matches, for which points could be earned.

Every match used chess clocks and there was a 15-minute time control which added a new dynamic to the game for our players. The standard of Chess was very high, with many hard-fought matches.

After a very close final round all the point were added up and the Solefield team were thrilled to hear that they had placed first! Well done to our Chess Team! 

 

A huge well done to the following boys who represented the school.

 

Board 1: Freddie C.(Y6)

Board 3: Raefe D. (Y6) 

Board 4: Felix T. (Y5)
