Making the right moves – Chess Club in Term 2

The Fort Street Chess Club is back in full action this term. Fortians from Year 7 to 12 gather in the library each fortnight on a Friday afternoon from 3.15pm-5.30pm, to play home games against chess teams from a range of high schools.

The Fortians who represent us in the Junior Teams include:

From year 7 we have Adhvay Moudgalya, Toby Nguyen, Joshua Lumbene, Vivaan Varma, Achyuth Arunraj,Gabriel Cutcher Skellern, Alibert Wilson, Leo Edwards, Edmond Gao, Luca Bartolo and Henry Fitzpatrick.

From year 8 we have Nikhil Reddy, Alexander Soriano, Alfred Zhou, Maxaviar Lum, William Ly, Chinmay Dixit, Ian Jeney-Mark, Aaditya Venkatraman, Yu Wu, Harvey Huang, Felix Peng and Anthony Li.

The Fortians who represent us in the Intermediate Team include:

The Fortians who represent us in the Senior Teams include:

From Year 12 we have Ethan Nguyen, Stephanie Banh, Jonathan Faltas, Peter Tran, Daniel Chen, Anthony Lee and Kelvin Tran.

Our latest home game which took place in week 6, saw our Junior Teams played against Sydney Boys, Canterbury Boys, Trinity Grammar and St Patricks Strathfield. Our Senior Teams played against Sydney Grammar and Newington.

In our previous home game in week 4, our Junior Teams played against Meridan and Sydney Girls whilst our Intermediate team played against Tempe. Our Senior Teams played against Trinity Grammar and Sydney Grammar.

Although we weren’t victorious in all the games, we had fun playing and made a lot of new friends along the way.

We also learnt the most important lesson of them all: It’s not important whether you win or lose, but how you play the game!
