Team Chess Challenge regional final

Last Friday 23 February, the St Paul’s chess team competed in the 2024 regional finals of the Team Chess Challenge.

While the chess team put up a strong performance in the initial three rounds, winning 3-1 twice in a row then 3.5-0.5 in the third, with the majority of the team remaining undefeated, the team unfortunately did not perform as well in the final round, losing 1-3 to Highgate A, the team which ultimately won the tournament. Despite this setback, the team had lots of fun, and a special shoutout to Richard (Fifth Form), who won the Board Prize as he was undefeated throughout the entire tournament, winning all four of his games.
