On Saturday, March 9th, 2024, AISB hosted our 4th Chess Without Borders Tournament.
Seventy-three competitors ranging in age from 5 years up to about 16 years tested their chess skills against enthusiasts from other schools.
Of the 73 competitors, 22 were from AISB, and quite a few AISB students finished on the podium, receiving medals or trophies. In fact, two of our students, Ayaan and Ko, won their respective divisions.
AISB also added to our chess trophy collection by winning not one but two trophies for the school: Most Competitors and Most Points Scored (based on our top three performers). All the children were clearly enjoying themselves, even though it was a long 8-hour day on a Saturday.
Many people from both campuses contributed their time to this event—Mr. Brenton, Miss Arvie (the AISB Chess coordinator), the admin teams of Soi 20 and Soi 31, and numerous others. I am sure the parents and children of AISB were very appreciative of the efforts of all those involved.
I am sure many of the participants are looking forward to Chess without Borders 5.
See you then.
