The School Chess League Girls Finals were held on Monday 6th September at Perth Modern School. The specific aim of this tournament was to decide the Primary and Secondary schools to represent Western Australia in the 2021 National School Finals.
The tournament was a 7 round Swiss with an Allegro time limit (15 minutes plus 3 second increments) which will be ACF quick rated. The event attracted 25 players with 9 players from Perth Modern School (the only Secondary School competing) and 16 players from 6 Primary Schools. All players were grouped into one tournament which the Perth Modern players dominated with the exception of Nithuli Liyange (Nedlands Primary School) whose opponents were all from Perth Modern school. Nithuli managed 4 wins two draws and only one loss, an excellent achievement against experienced opposition. Nithuli’s only loss was to Anoushka Gupta who achieved a perfect score of 7 (also an excellent achievement). In retrospect it would have been better to divide up the Primary and Secondary school players into two divisions and that will be the format for next year.
Nedlands Primary School were the winning Primary school with Kingsway Christian College and Mt. Lawley Primary battling it out for second place. Mt. Lawley achieved second place by the narrowest of margins.
Congratulations to Nedlands Primary School the 2021 WA Primary School Champions and Perth Modern School the 2021 WA Secondary School Champions. We wish them every success in the 2021 National Schools Finals.
