Hamilton Chess Club

Club members Joel Sean Calib and Elijah were in Auckland last weekend representing the Waikato in the annual National School Pupils’ tournament. On the left is a picture taken as they were just about to start their match against Hillsbrough – who eventually went on to win the tournament. Joel and Sean had good positions against their respective opponents in this round.  Unfortunately Joel lost on a technicality when he inadvertently  played an illegal move just as he was about to deliver mate.
