The second tournament of the 1st Cyprus Schools Grand Prix hosted at The English School

On 18 December, SIMBA Trainers LTD, in cooperation with The English School, organized the second tournament of the 1st Cyprus Schools Grand Prix with the main sponsor Tornaritis Law Firm.

We had 107 participants from more than 25 schools all around Cyprus.  The event occurred at the  Study Centre, and the players competed in a series of chess games from 11 am until 4 pm.

The English School came first in the Juniors Division (Years 1-3) and the Seniors Division (Years 4-7).  Moreover, our student Pavlos Chrysostomou (Year 4) came first in the individual players' standings, having won all seven matches against his opponents.

We want to congratulate all 107 students who participated in the event, from kindergarten, primary and secondary school students.  They all showed tremendous courage and sportsmanship!

We are incredibly proud of our students who represented the school and look forward to welcoming more students to future tournaments.
