Thank you all for coming. It was oppressively hot on Saturday the 26th of October, and yet the youngsters bravely and tirelessly calculated their moves on the 64 square boards. Like they were on a ‘tour of duty’ the young chess players executed their moves well, after all duty makes us do things well. The more passionate ones even made more beautiful moves. It was another great practice event. At Knights Academy we believe in action ; more game play and more learning from mistakes. Hence the monthly practice events are a platform for action and learning more. Men of action are favoured by the Goddess of luck!
Youngsters were from; Shiriyedenga Pri, Mberi Pri, St Martins Convent Pri, Zuvarabuda Pri, Kundai Pri, Hartmann House Pri, as well as Highfield 1 High, Highfield 2 High, Glen Norah 1 High, Cornway College and Harare High Schools. Takaendesa Makamure (18) an A-Level student (Highfield 2 High) won the Presige section with 5/5. Shiriyedenga Primary’s Grade 3 pupil Nicole Chibvuri (8) was on top in the U10 Jnr Section scoring 6/7. And Roland Chitakunye (St Martin’s Convent Pri) who sat for his grade 7 exams a couple of weeks back had a 100% performance 7/7 in the U14 Jnr section. Well done!
