INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL 2015 LIBRARY WEEK INTER-SCHOOL CHESS CHAMPIONS!!

International School Left v/s Anse Royale Secondary right.

Was it luck, the level of opponent or pure MIGHT??!!

Either way, under the Leadership of Samuel Nalletamby (1^st on the left above) as Team Captain of the International School, they was able to collect a three straight clean sweep over their opponents, Anse Royale (opposite International above), Beau Vallon and Mont Flueri Secondary School in the 1^st, 2^nd and 3^rd round respectively. Hence such results not only boost their confidence but gave the Super Stars a dozen points ahead, followed by Independent School by nine points and Belonie Secondary School after the 3^rd round!! 

Rivals Schools Battling head to heads!!

Yes International Vanquished all their opponents in the 7 rounds Swiss system, Library week Inter-school Chess Championship!! A total of 20 minutes (10 mins each) was given to finish the game.

President of the Republic of Seychelles along side Chess Movie Star!!

It is of great honor for the Seychelles Chess to see Seychelles President Mr. James A. Michel was along side Chess Movie Star Mr. Ted Danson from "Knights of the South Bronx!!" - on the Clinton Climate Initiative show.

See Below a little extract of the Movie;

It is worth Noted that Mr. President James A. Michel was addressing Climate change issues, proposed solution on how to solve them. Speaking like a true Chess Player, always looking for a Positive Solution!!

We highly recommend seeing the Movie: Knights of the South Bronx for Inspiration on the benefits of Chess and even understand why Chess Is School Curriculum is a very important aspect in our Child Growth!!
