Legendary Grandmaster Susan Polgar graces 3rd Cyprus Schools GP chess tournament as our students achieve remarkable success!

We are thrilled to announce that our students excelled at the 3rd chess tournament of the Cyprus Schools GP series held last Sunday (05/03) at the luxurious Golden Bay Hotel in Larnaca. The tournament attracted talented students from kindergartens, primary schools, and secondary schools all over Cyprus.

 

The cherry on top was the presence of Grandmaster Susan Polgar, former World Chess Champion (1996-1999), who graced the event with her legendary presence.

Our students shone in the tournament, securing 1st place in both the Juniors and Seniors Divisions. We are proud to share that Pavlos Chrysostomou (15 points) and Zilin Su (11 points) secured 1st and 2nd places, respectively, in the overall player standings. The rest of our players also made significant contributions towards these great achievements: Angelos Prastitis (10 points), Garry Petrossian (9 points), Mikhail Kiselev (9 points), and Olympia Xenophontos (8 points).

We extend our heartfelt congratulations to our students for once again making us proud with their remarkable performances!

We want to express our gratitude to Mark Bryan (Simba Trainers) and the Larnaca Chess Club for organizing the tournament and the Cyprus Chess Federation and Tornaritis Law Firm for sponsoring the event. Thank you for making this memorable event possible!
