So what did we mean that we hadn't told the whole story yesterday?
Someone did make it to 3½ points, but maybe not the way we expected. We're still claiming him as our own though...

@nieperacademy Even though we're saying goodbye to our best players, we're feeling good about the future.
We have a core group of Y10s who are ready to step up, and there are now over twenty students at the academy with competitive experience.
@nieperacademy
Welcome back. We had two guest players in our ranks yesterday, former students who chose a different sixth form college.
When we heard they were playing this year, we invited them to do so alongside us for their last ever junior competition.

@nieperacademy Those who stayed were pivotal too, of course, whether leading the team or supporting in the background.
Our sincerest thanks go to Charlie, Will, Andrei, Owen, Owen, and everyone else who joined us at events that first year.
Good luck with wherever life takes you.

No photo opportunity on the steps today, but that's not telling the whole story.
Check in tomorrow to find out more.

We've seen some thrilling chess matches featuring our students today.
Not all the results went our way but everyone enjoyed the event.

The bank holiday weekend has proven popular with other events, so we have a smaller team here this year, including four debutants.
