St Joseph's Chess Tournament 2025

From 42 competitors across Key Stage 2 we are down to the final 4 of the St. Joseph's Chess Tournament 2025.  During the first week of Term 3 our final four will battle it out to decided 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th place in this year's tournament.

 

Congratulations to:

 

Ryan: Favourite Chess Piece - The Rook because you can 'castle' and you can use the 'ladder mate' move.

 

Oisin: Favourite Chess Piece - The Pawn because you have eight of them and you can promote them to another piece when moved to the end of the board.

 

Emily: Favourite Chess Piece - The Pawn because you can promote it and it is very good for defence.

 

Noah: Favourite Chess Piece - The Knight because I can 'fork' with it.

 

We look forward to the 2025 St Joseph's Chess Final!
