➲ Online Term Tournament Challenge
| We are planning an online chess tournament for WRSS chess students who are willing to challenge each other online.
| This tournament could be held through the ChessKid App where I have already opened an account for each and every chess student.
| Once you register for this tournament, you have to stay online during the tournament, otherwise your opponent cannot play due to your absence.
| Make sure your device and internet can work well on the day.
| Exact date for term 2 2024 will be scheduled later.
