The year of 2022 was an exceptional year for Chess at Paarl Boys’ High. Chess truly burst at the seams with the sheer number of boys that committed to making the year a success. We now have five teams with four of them taking part at the Top Schools. The top performances of our boys were clearly illustrated by their domination over Grey College and Paarl Gimnasium, and the strong results against Paul Roos. The first team furthermore qualified for the National Top Schools for the first time in 16 years. Die vyf HJS-spanne het hierdie seisoen ’n totaal van 63 wedstryde gespeel waarvan hulle 50 gewen, sewe gelykop gespeel en slegs ses verloor het. I want to thank every player individually for his contribution to making this a memorable year and for the results that he has achieved. I hope they all cherish the reminiscences, the friendship bonds and camaraderie that formed during this year. A special word of appreciation to our captain, Wium van Tonder, for his leadership in the team and for leading by example in the Boys’ High character and on the board. Also, out thanks to Ms Martha van Heerden, who assisted
