Chess Team Success
04 Dec 2009
Ivanhoe Grammar School's Chess Team continues to achieve great competition results. Taking on the best that Australia and New Zealand has to offer in the 2009 National Chess finals held at Monash University on 29 November, the Ivanhoe Team placed fifth in the final standings - an excellent result!
The team was represented by Year 9 students Deniz Tuncer, William Cao and Michael Tanner, Year 10 student Michael Addamo and Year 11 student Ollie Xue. The eventual winners of the competition were New Zealand visitors Auckland Grammar School scoring 22 points with Ivanhoe scoring 17 points.
A particularly outstanding personal result was achieved by Michael Addamo who placed seventh in the individual player rankings, where he was competing against older students.
Everyone is looking forward to next year's competition where the Ivanhoe team hopes to do even better.
