Thank you to everyone who participated at last week's Winter Holiday Boot Camp. We had a great turnout of 30 - 40 participants at each event. Over the course of four days, children had the opportunity to receive coaching and compete over various formats of
chess. Masaki Horikawa was the dominant performer, winning all three events outright but there was fierce competition across the board.
I'd like to thank our wonderful coaches, arbiters, parents, volunteers and the participants. If you enjoyed the boot camp, make sure you don't miss out on our next school holiday events (information to be released soon) and our other upcoming events.
