Badge test time again for juniors

This week was test time again in the Junior Club.  The New Zealand Chess Federation has a popular series of four written tests for juniors, from the beginner pawn level, through to knight, bishop and rook levels.  A different badge and certificate is awarded as the pupil passes each test (see picture below). This week 12 kids sat their knight test, while 6 sat their pawn test. Good luck! Meanwhile in the senior club, we held a mini one-night tournament of 10+5, with Gordon Lyall coming out on top. Next week will be the final deciding round of the Winter Cup.
