Chess
Club
The Chess Club started off with mainly
junior, novice pupils attending the
Monday sessions. It was not long before
many became avid “warriors”
of the game, challenging anyone and
anything that crossed their path!
Matthew
Mansfield is our current Champ, with
the other members battling their way
up the chess ladder in order to take
him out! His current status is fairly
stable but a hard battle is underway
for that challenge. We hope to gain
another expert, to balance the scales
of total injustice. Itu Lebea is coming
up close on his heels.
Kurt Spence entered the Top 20 Mpumalanga
Competition, and achieved 14th place
for U16 players – Well done to
Kurt!
The girls that we currently have in
the team are huge battle contenders,
and take on the guys with the determination
and gusto normally reserved for First
Team Rugby players. As with any Great
Battle, attack is the best means of
defense, and with chess, this method
cannot be underestimated! We look forward
to the challenges and trials that await
us in 2009.
