House Chess
House chess events took place with great success in a lockdown format, with games on lichess.org, one of several chess platforms which have been flourishing around the world.
The Friday before half-term saw over 50 boys involved in three separate competitions for Year 11, Lower Sixth and Upper Sixth.
The winning houses were as follows: Year 7 - Brooke; Year 8 - Greville; Year 11 - Leycester; Lower Sixth - Greville; Upper Sixth - Guy.
Special mention should go to one of the members of Leycester’s winning Year 11 team, who played despite being in Hong Kong, with the competition finishing just before midnight HK time, and on Chinese
New Year!
Overall however, the real success of these competitions has been not which houses won, but in the success of the lockdown platform. House chess has expanded this year, with over 300 individual matches and around 120 boys being involved, mirroring a huge worldwide expansion in the use of online chess platforms.
