On Wednesday 22 February, Habs A team claimed a respectable victory of 4.5- 1.5 against Dame Alice Owen School at home in round two of the semi finals of the ECF U19 National Schools Chess championship 2022/23.

This is a remarkable achievement which qualifies Habs A into the finals to be played in Nottingham in June. A total of 250 teams from 147 schools entered this year’s U19 National School Chess Championship – the largest entry this millennium.

Congratulations to Alex (L6M2), Savin (11H2), Avyukt (8M1), Kian (11R2), Ezzie (L6H2) and Madhav (11C1) for representing the school.
