Eltham College Chess Team Secures Spot in National Finals

This week, our Senior Chess players travelled to Sevenoaks to compete in a regional heat of the National Teams tournament. After four intense rounds of rapid chess, our A team, James (Year 12), Yash (Year 7), Cyrus (Year 12), and Gaurav (Year 9), delivered a dominant performance to secure first place.

With this fantastic win, the team has earned their place in the National Finals at Nottingham University on Tuesday 24 June. A huge congratulations to all the players for their strategic thinking and composure under pressure. We look forward to seeing them take on the country’s best in the finals.

We also wish the A team the very best of luck in the second round of the National Schools Cup next month, after their further win on Thursday in the first round of the regional stage at Simon Langton School, Canterbury.
