Aberdeen Chess Academy was strongly represented in the finals of
the SJC Teams Championships, held in the Beatrix Potter Centre,
Dunkeld. Quarryhill Primary School, who won the Primary Teams
title in 2004/05, again made it to the four-team, all-play-all
final, but having finished 1st equal, they were
denied by their tie-break bogey. For the third time in five
years, Quarryhill lost out on a Scottish Teams title on a game
points tie-break, which is similar to goal difference in
football.
However, the young Bothwell Primary team from Glasgow showed
great fighting spirit in the final round to come back from 0 – 2
to tie the match with Quarryhill, and secure the draw which made
them SJC Champions.

Third in SJC Finals |
The Primary 5 and Under Teams final consisted of eight teams.
The teams were placed in two groups of four for the morning
session in an all-play all format, and in the afternoon the top
two teams from the morning qualifiers played a knock-out session
to determine the first four places.
Jordanhill were worthy P5 Team Champions, winning every match in
both morning and afternoon sessions.
Best of the local teams were Tullos Primary and Cornhill
Primary. The Tullos players all played well in the finals, and
deservedly finished in a highly creditable 3rd place.
Cornhill also played well to qualify for the afternoon final,
finishing fourth overall.
