Wilson's Chess Festival
During the Half Term holiday, 100 Wilson's pupils took part in the Wilson's Chess Festival. They played over 450 highly competitive games of chess. The top section was won by Shivam (9H) with Denis (8H) second. Other sections were won (some jointly) by Atticus (12C), Ronik (8H), Mark (8B), Sanjiv (9C), Aryaman (12C), Rolland (11S) and Keshaav (9D). Thanks to Mr Dupuis and Dr Cooper for running the tournaments.

These are run fortnightly and Wilson's has won the last two, against up to 40 other schools. On 22 October our top scorers were Rahul (10G) and Balahari (7G), whilst on 5 November Denis (8H) produced fireworks as we just won in the last 5 minutes.
