Hello Parents and Students of Seneca Hill Chess Club, Hillcrest Chess Club, and Oriole Chess Club. My name is Kyle and I have been playing chess at Seneca Hill for 6 years. During these years, I have learned a lot from here. It has positively benefited my life and I hope it benefits your child’s life as well.

I decided to write Corrina a letter of thanks, and here it is.

Dear Corrina, Read the rest of this entry »

Congrats to the Seneca Hill players!

First and third in the K-6 and second in the K-3.

Top teams will go to Kingston to meet the top Quebec teams on June 7.

From the organizer on June 10:

Corrigendum: On countback – in the K-6 section, 2nd placed Knights
of Chess missed fielding all the players from the same school, and
therefore the Seneca Hill B team were then awarded the 2nd place.

Congratulations Seneca!

Another year! We brought home the two big trophies.

From the organizer:
On May 9th, Ledbury Park hosted our annual TDSB elementary team chess finals. The top eight teams from each quadrant competed for the coveted Master’s trophy in round-robin format. All qualifying schools made it to the final by virtue of finishing in the top two in their respective qualifying events held throughout March. In total close to five hundred students from across the TDSB represented their schools in this team format.

When the dust settled, the following teams finished on top:
Primary Division: Champions-Seneca Hill PS, 2nd place- Crestview PS 3rd place-McKee PS
Junior Division: Champions- Seneca Hill PS, 2nd place- Cummer Valley 3rd place-Bellmere”

Congrats to our team members, Daniel, Kyle, Ray, Yikang and David, who played in the Toronto Secondary School Chess league finals today (April 25).

Top 2 teams from each of the north, east, south and west of Toronto Secondary Schools meet in the finals. Our team has been invited to participate since 2001.
We played in the Junior Division which is for students Grade 10 and under. We came second today after UTS.

All our members went home with a silver medal and satisfaction. They liked my snacks and I liked their team spirit!
