The 2021 EISM Chess Event held at Huntingtower School was able to be held (just) last week as Victorians were about to enter their 5th Lockdown of the COVID-19 pandemic.
83 players from across the EISM network battled wits in a combined Junior / Senior competition that saw Host School Huntingtower win both the Junior and Senior Divisions, which was testament to their Chess program and the passion of their students and staff.
