Chess Tournament For BY Kids

“No one will regret the time dedicated to chess, as it will help in any profession” – Tigran Petrosyan

This Republic Day, five students from G K Marg engaged in a battle of minds by participating in the 3rd Inter -UCF Chess Tournament. This was a firsttime participation for these students in a tournament where around 40 kids from
different centres and schools took part and was held at JLTTA-Hub-Juhu.

These five were selected from a group of 20 students of GK Marg school who have been receiving personal training from Mr. Amit Soman and Ms. Amruta of Universal Chess Foundation for more than six months now. All the kids played five intense rounds for four hours with a lot of enthusiasm and concentration, using problem solving skills and tactics taught to them. They thoroughly enjoyed the refreshments given to them. This participation has not only boosted their confidence but also instilled, in them, an urge to play, practice and achieve more!
