Chess at Jesmond Park Academy

England Schools Chess Championships - JPA vs RGS

Last night we played at JPA in a regional round of the prestigious England Schools Chess Championships against the Royal Grammar School and won! 12 players and 6 games in two very tense hours, where you could have heard a pin drop.  Each match required careful strategy, focus, and teamwork, as we were facing very strong competition. Through consistent preparation and calm decision-making under pressure, our team managed to out think the opponents and bring us to an exciting and victorious finish.

Congratulations to our amazing chess team, and their coaches Mr Farzanpour and Mr Zaman, who have all practiced for many hours, (and 3 years!) to get us this proud and exciting result.

Well done! Jake, Ben, Michael, Jacob, Michael and Idris

Bring on the next round!

Mrs Sharpe
