Team Nationals Qualifiers – Northcross Intermediate
Last Week we also took part in the Chess Power Regionals. It was a very close competition, and unfortunately, we finished second, just one point behind ACG Sunderland. The scores were extremely tight throughout with the matches remaining intense from start to finish. Everyone on our team gave their best effort. Justin Wang won first place in the individual, achieving a perfect score by winning all 7 rounds. Additionally, Northcross has again qualified for the Chess Power National Finals to be held in Auckland in October.
Congratulations to all of the students that have participated in these recent competitions.
