2nd Island Lake Invitational Chess Tournament

By Butch Rabasto

George Knott School hosted the 2nd Inter-Island Lake Invitational Chess Tournament last February 15, 2019. Garden Hill School was not able to send their delegation to participate in this tournament leaving St. Theresa Point and George Knott School to face-off in the competition.

The tournament started at 10:00 am and the competing teams played their best in the games. It was a grueling match between the two teams as they played two rounds of elimination bouts in both Class A and Class B Divisions.

Lunch was served at 12:00 noon and after a short rest, the last round of the tournament was played by both teams to determine the winner based on the total points accumulated by the respective teams in both divisions.

George Knott School garnered the highest points after the tally and won the championship trophy this year while St. Theresa Point School got the second place. It was a good game and good sportsmanship shown by the chess players of both schools.

We thank the St. Theresa Point School for coming and participating in this invitational chess tournament. We hope that Garden Hill School will join us next year to make this event more exciting and something our students in our communities can look forward to.
