Wellington inter-schools

Kapiti Junior Chess Club members, Jingwei, Rueben, Daniel, Benjamin and Milo, competed for their school, Raumati Beach, in the Wellington Region Inter-school competition on 20th July. This is possibly the first time that a Kapiti Primary school has competed in the New Zealand Chess Federation’s national school competition. All five students claimed points with the team notching up two wins against Newlands B and Churton Park. Special mention to Jingwei on board 1. Playing the top players from all the other schools, he scored an impressive 4 from 6, and was just outside receiving the top board prize. Congratulations to all.
