Otago/Southland Chess Champions 2016

On Saturday July 2nd The Tahuna Chess Team went into the Otago/Southland Finals knowing they hadn’t won the Cup for Ten years.  Seven rounds later, after 5 hours battle on the Chessboard, Tahuna had won. They scored 22 out of a possible 28 points (4 points available per round). 

 Going into the final round they had a 2 point buffer over Balmacewen Intermediate who immediately set about winning all their games and the pressure was on. The lads responded! They won all their individual matches and stepped away from the Chess Boards as the 2016 Champs. Of course this means they now have to compete in the South Island finals next term. How will they go…..'their move!!’

The Team in order is; Romero Suggate, Narayan Shastri, Abdul Alkharusi, Nick Wright.
