Success at the 1st Cyprus Schools Grand Prix Chess Tournament

Our team won 1st place for The English School in the juniors category (years 1 to 3) ! In addition our year-4 student who represented the school in the seniors category (years 4 to 7) fought a great battle and managed to secure 3rd place for our school!  In the overall players standings two of our students managed to get 2nd and 3rd place. Congratulations to everyone!

The English School Chess Team are: Pavlos Chrysostomou (4G), Mikhail Kiselev (2W), Andreas Kyriakides (1G), Zilin Su (1G), Giorgos Lioudakis (1B) and Olympia Xenofontos (1B). 

Special thanks to Stelios Kyriakides (ES parent) who brought the tournament to our attention but also helped with the organisation as well as all the English School parents who attended the tournament and supported our players.

The next tournament will be in December and we will be welcoming more students to join the team. In the meantime students will have the opportunity to compete in online tournaments organised by the English School Chess Club.
