June 24th 2017 - Otago Secondary, Dunedin.
See the full report at http://home.clear.net.nz/pages/otagochess/News.html.
Eleven teams from seven schools played for the thirteenth annual Otago/Southland Secondary Interschool Teams' Championship on Saturday 24 June. Very welcome were the three schools that made the trip from outside Dunedin this year: Dunstan High School, James Hargest College and Southland Boys' High School taking on the hosts Otago Boys’ High School and regular competitors Logan Park High School, John McGlashan College and Kavanagh College.
The OBHS A team defended their title once again, but were under severe pressure from the John McGlashan A team, until pulling away in the final two rounds. OBHS A finished first on 24½/28, with the John McGlashan A team second on 20½ points. The contest for third was very close, and was claimed by James Hargest College on 18 points after a 4-0 sweep of fellow Invercargill team, Southland Boys' High School, in the final round gave them a half point margin over the John McGlashan B team. The top three teams qualify for the South Island finals in Ashburton on 6 September, while OBHS A and James Hargest go on to the national finals in Christchurch on 30 September - 1 October.
Leading individual scorers were Board 1: Martin Brook (JMC A) 7/7, Riley Jellyman (OBHS A) 6/7; Andrew Wilson (Kavanagh) 4½/7; Board 2: Max Lough (OBHS A) 6/7, Noah Oseki (OBHS B) 6/7; Fraser Reynolds (JMC A) 5/7, Fred Munn (James Hargest) 5/7. Board 3: Ethan Lau (OBHS A) 6/7, Liam Barnes (James Hargest) 5/7, Harry Major (Logan Park) 5/7; Board 4: Ryan Lau (OBHS A) 6½/7, John Mengel (JMC B) 6½/7, Jin Young Kim (JMC A) 5/7.

20 teams from 15 schools played for the thirteenth annual Otago/Southland Primary and Intermediate Interschool Teams' Championships at the new venue this year of Kavanagh College gymnasium. There was good representation from outside Dunedin with teams from Queenstown, Cromwell and Oamaru.
The writing was on the wall in the Intermediate section when the John McGlashan team beat defending champions Tahuna 3-1 in round 2, having won by the same margin over Queenstown Primary in the first round, as it turned out Queenstown were to be their closest rivals. Oamaru Int started with the same scores, and defeated early leaders DNI A in round three, but JMC had a 4-0 win over Balmacewen B to take the lead that round, which they kept until the end, winning all their matches and finishing first on 23/28. Queenstown fought their way to second place on 19 points, just one ahead of DNI A in third on 18 points.
Leading individual scorers were Board 1: Romero Suggate (Tahuna) 7/7, Martin Brook (John McGlashan) 6/7, Romero Suggate (Tahuna) 6/7, Derick van Basten (Oamaru) 5/7; Board 2: Gary Yao (John McGlashan) 6½/7, Ryan Choi (Queenstown) 5½/7, Emmanuel Keane (Tahuna) 5/7, Ethan Lambeth (DNI A) 5/7; Board 3: John Mengel (John McGlashan) 6/7, Nikau Edmond Smail (DNI A) 5/7, Dev Pandya (Oamaru) 5/7, Felix Telfer (DNI B) 5/7; Board 4: Aaron Nelson (Balmacewen A) 5½/7, Todd Khaengkhan (Queenstown) 5½/7, Sheon Luxmanan (John McGlashan) 4½/7, Harvey Mullins (DNI B) 4½/7.
The Primary section was a real nail-biter. Defending former champions Maori Hill took the lead from the first round and held it by half a point going into the final round. Queenstown Primary, who had been beaten 3-1 by the leaders in the third round, had hauled themselves back into contention with a series of convincing match wins over the next few rounds, including a crushing 4-0 sweep of defending Champions, George St Normal in round 4. In the final round the Maori Hill team faced George St and were held to a 2-2 draw. Meanwhile Queenstown defeated St Clair A 3-1 to sneak ahead by half a point and take the championship for 2017, finishing first on 21½/28. Maori Hill were second on 21 points and the Cromwell/Goldfields team finished third on 17½ points.
