Our tournament is starting early this year and is being expertly organised by Abhi in S3. Keen chessers flocked to the club this week to sign up for the competition and were given a presentation about the rules and etiquette of tournaments. It is great to see pupils from S1 to S6 getting involved and we look forward to the match games which will take place in a silent room next to the club room. Good luck to the seniors who are supervising the games and all the best to all of the players!
