Chess is an intense, intricate and competitive mind sport and it causes you to use strategic planning and precision.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">On the 9 June St Ursula\u2019s participated in the annual Sydney Catholic Schools Chess Tournament at De La Salle Revesby, competing against both De La Salle schools, Bethany College, Our Lady of Mercy, Aquinas College and many more.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Even though our school unfortunately didn\u2019t win, we still left with something and that was our resilience. It didn\u2019t matter if we won or lost. No matter what, both Intermediate and Junior teams still got back up and played again. Even if they kept losing they pushed through it all, not fussing over it and whining about how they didn\u2019t win, and to me that\u2019s better than winning a trophy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">One of the most fun parts of the day was when it was less than five minutes before starting our first round of games and my whole team surrounded me while I was teaching them openings tricks and tips to remember and to look out for when playing. It\u2019ll always be something I\u2019ll remember and I will internally laugh at in future. I\u2019ll also remember shaking my opponents sweaty hands and secretly trying to wipe my own hand on my dress, but it wasn\u2019t so secretive and really quite obvious.<\/span><\/p>\n<h5><em><strong>Allegra P<\/strong><\/em><br \/>\n<em><strong>Year 8<\/strong><\/em><\/h5>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chess isn\u2019t just a game, it&#8217;s not just about moving pieces, it\u2019s way more than that&#8230;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":24610,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","class_list":["post-24609","article","type-article","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/serviam\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article\/24609","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/serviam\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/serviam\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/article"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/serviam\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=24609"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/serviam\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/24610"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/serviam\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=24609"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
