Many people studied the uncanny moves made by young Bobby Fischer, declared world champion, when he opposed the Russian Boris Spassky. Interest in chess is just as strong on our campus. The Chess Club meets every Enrichment Day to learn and play the game of chess. The club is divided into, three classes-advanced, intermediate, and beginner's. A tournament, which lasted the whole school year, was held in each class and the winner of each tournament was awarded a trophy. The club wishes to challenge other schools in the future.
