MTS Chess Team Excels in Tournament at Harrow School

Josh Gill (5ths) has been hard at work this year putting together a team of exciting young chess talent to play against other schools and in local tournaments. The team’s first outing came last Sunday at Harrow School in their inaugural Schools’ Blitz Tournament, which comprised a draining twelve rounds in four hours. Austin Ivan finished a remarkable fourth out of ninety five players, while Josh Gill and Jacob Rose also finished in the top twenty. The team finished third out of thirteen teams, beating the likes of Harrow and Highgate. Well done to the team for the fantastic result. Individual results are listed in the table below.
