This inter-school chess tournament was run by the NZCF (New Zealand Chess Federation).
Eight Raroans represented Raroa at the Wellington Regional Year 7/8 Chess Tournament at the end of last term: Sarthak Singh, Chloe Hartwell, Molly Zaslow, Richie Moon, Trijal Pednekar, Daniel Roscoe, Alex Vannucci and Mitchell Su.
The tournament had match points to calculate the scores. If the team won the match then the winning team got 2 points and the losing team would get 0 points. If the team drew against another team, then each team would get 1 point. All the teams got to play 6 matches.
After a lot of persistence, Raroa A came 10th place, winning 3 matches. Raroa B came 17th, winning 2 matches and drawing 1. Even though everyone lost some matches, we were respectful to our surroundings and opponents. We had lots of fun and we are looking forward to improve and perform better next year.
Thank you to Mrs Dunn for organising the chess teams, Eric Zaslow, Helen Roscoe and Min Jeong Kim for taking the photos and staying with us at the chess tournament, and Adesh Pednekar, Eric Zaslow, Min Jeong Kim, Marisa Vannucci for the transportation.
