King's pupils travelled to Bristol to take part in the National Schools Chess Championships...
On Monday 21st November, a team from King’s Bruton took part in the regional stage of the National Schools Chess Championships. This is a national competition, with 240 teams from 140 schools having entered this year.
We went to Bristol Grammar School for our regional qualifier stage, along with 14 other schools from the South West. We were unlucky in losing 2-6 and 1-0 in the first two rounds, but managed to win 3.5-2.5 in round 3. If we had won round 4, we would have qualified for the next stage, but we were up against a much stronger team and lost badly. Overall we were in the top half of the teams, but didn’t do well enough to qualify for the next stage.
It was an interesting evening and a good learning experience for all pupils. A stop at KFC on the way home was well received!
