On Monday, 4th March, St Catherine’s School held an Inter- School Chess Tournament for Burngreave and Shirecliffe.

The tournament featured children from St Catherine’s, Byron Wood, Firshill, Owler Brook and Watercliffe Meadows Schools.

The competition was set up so each child was given a random opponent to play. There were 6 children in each team. Whoever won their match would play someone else who had won, while the people who lost would face another person who had lost. The matches continued until there were just two people left in the competition, battling it out.

It was a gripping final and in the end both of us were crowned the winner of the Chess Competition. We received a certificate, a trophy and a book all about chess.

It was a great competition, and it was set up so everyone could play the same number of games. Everyone felt they had a real opportunity to get better at their chess game and to experience playing against others.

I enjoyed playing with people with different strengths. Hopefully, there will be many more competitions like this in the future; chess is a great game that really gets your brain cells working.
