The Chess Academy’s Annual Scholastic Tournament is likely to attract some 150 players in its 4th edition on 22 June. This event is becoming the de facto yearly end-of-school chess tournament: a tradition in the making!
In this tournament students play for both individual and for school prizes. As of today, Discovery College has 9 students, all Caissa players, in the line up and Caissa player Gerent Lee fights singlehandedly for Raimondi College.

Both Max and Chor Wei have played a few tournaments and both were twice very close to a prize. Will this time be their break through? If no individual prizes, together with Miguel Angel we should expect several points for Discovery College in this age group. Go boys go!
- Maxwell Moore (P3)
- Chor Wei Tang (P4)
- Miguel Angel Garceran Wang (P3)
