14th SCHOLASTIC TOURNAMENT 2019

Tokyo Bilingual Chess Club's 14th Scholastic Tournament held on June 1, 2019 with the time control of 25 min. + 5 sec. increment.  The Tournament Director, CM Alex Averbukh  made the pairings each round and settled any type of dispute that arose during the game. We could not hold chess tournaments without him!

 

There were 16 young players, that came out during our tournament from at least 8 schools.  Although many people believe that chess is just a game, there are many scientific and artistic applications that the game has to offer.  Children played five rounds showing fine sportsmanship as well as fine ability. We won't be so concerned about preparation because the results are not as meaningful this time and we can focus on making sure kids are getting an enjoyable and edifying chess experience.   

 

We had two sections and the winners in Group A were:

 

Class A: Kai Tatsumi with 4.5/5.0

Class A: Shota Osakawith 4.5/5.0

Class A: Stepan Nikitin 3.0/5.0

 

Winners in Group B were:

 

Class B: Eito Takada with 4.0/5.0

Class B: Paulo Galvez with 3.5/5.0

Class B: Fedor Savenkov with 3.0/5.0

 

 Congratulations to everyone who came out to participate and make for a great chess community event. With trophies, certificates and other prizes up for grabs, the tournament was fun and furtile breeding ground for up and coming champions!

We wish all of these bright young players continued success and hope to meet them and their parents again in the future. We are curious to see what changes will occur in the next few months. 

Stay tuned for the next scholastic tournament!
