Kryal Castle Chess Tournament

Last week, SFCC students represented the College for the first time in the Kryal Castle Chess Tournament. 

Competition took place in rooms that recreated the medieval atmosphere, with atmospheric lighting, blue stone walls, and other decorative adornments. It was a wonderful opportunity for our students to experience chess in a unique environment.

The tournament featured 170 students from 17 schools across Victoria. Our students played seven games of rapid chess, with 10 minutes on the clock with two-second increments. After the challenging day, a number of our students achieved Distinctions.

A special mention to Year 12 student Chloe , who received a gold medal after winning five out of seven games. Chloe has also qualified for both the Regional Open Finals and the Girls Tournament later in the year.

Thank you to all our staff who helped prepare and get the team to Kyral Castle, and congratulations again to all our players.
