Today we took a team to compete against schools across Victoria in the Mt. Alexander Chess Challenge in Castlemaine at the old Castlemaine Gaol. Our team (Isaac Duffy, Josh Heddle, Neal Rivera and Mitchell Chapman) played 7 other schools and won 5 rounds, drew 1, lost 1 and come third in division one. Some of the teams the students played included international and state level players so a top effort. They also overcame being one player short (meaning they started every round one game down). Congratulations to these students for representing Echuca College in such a positive manner.
