  • THANK YOU!

      7 October 2015

    So we made it back from Auckland, and we are still skating on the high of such a big trip away from home. Aria did so well, 94 of the best young chess players in NZ, aged 10-18, all pitted against each other for the title of NZ champion. Nine rounds, nine games, Aria won 2, drew 2, and came second in the rest =) It was a huge day, but everyone we dealt with was so amazing, so friendly and so cool. It was so professionally handled, and the Chesspower crew were awesome. Thank you so much to everyone that supported this for Aria, you guys rock!
