Inaugural Boleyn Trust Tournament

On Tuesday 18th March helped organise The Boleyn Trust’s inaugural inter-school chess tournament. Hosted by New City Primary School, Newham, seven schools competed in an exciting afternoon of chess.

After a lesson from FIDE Master Jonny Pein, arming the players with some tried and tested tournament strategies, the students were ready to play. Everyone participated well with some exceptional performances as well as good sportsmanship all round.

Congratulations to all players and thanks to the Boleyn Trust and New City Primary for helping to make this rewarding event happen. We look forward to seeing some inter-school chess rivalries grow in the coming years!
