* * * Chess Club – In the Spotlight The chess club has been in the national spotlight – holding the finals of the 2011 New Zealand Inter-School Chess Championship. 160 of the country’s top junior players fought it out at Mt Maunganui College over two days, watched by their nervous teachers and parents. The RSA generously funded books for the school libraries of the winning teams, and made trestles and other tables available. The competition was opened by Tauranga City Councillor Terry Molloy and RSA General Manager Peter Moss took the stage at the end to present medals and books to the winners and place-getters. The three New Zealand titles went to Auckland Grammar (Secondary), Takapuna Normal (Intermediate) and Pigeon Mountain (Primary), all from Auckland. The national finals were a reality check for the Bay of Plenty qualifiers – Bethlehem College, Tauranga Intermediate and Omanu Primary. They found the going tough, but Bethlehem did have the satisfaction of scoring a rare victory against Auckland Grammar when Ray Qian beat their number one, Hans Gao. Meanwhile, within the chess club the Championship qualifying tournament continues on Monday nights. With four and a half out of five top seeds Bob Smith and Noel Pinic have already booked their places in the final with two rounds to go. Viv Smith (3.5) is alone in third place, while Bert van der Lee, Drew Chadwick and Richard Tax are all on three points.
