“Avoid the crowd. Do your own thinking independently. Be the chess player, not the chess piece.”

 

Inspired by the thought that chess is something that teaches us to be patient and think twice before we take any step, St. Xavier's organised a Chess Festival from 17th May to 19th May 2022 in the school premises. The tournament took place in  3 rounds, Quarter Final, Semi Final and Final. The result was decided either by checkmate or point system, paving way to knock out system. 

 

Students displayed immense enthusiasm and sportsmanship during the entire event. After a great show put up by all the budding chess players the results declared were as follows:

 

Grade V:

First Position

Naitik Jain V-C

 

Second Position
