“In life, as in chess forethought wins”

If anything the last year has taught us to plan ahead, to be prepared. Towards this our team member Devarya planned to raise funds for monsoon preparedness by organising a chess tournament.

On May 14th over 25 participants engaged in a battle of wits for our first ever online chess tournament.

The game was played in the knockout format and had a 5 minute rapid format.

The enthusiastic participation was heartening. The proceeds were used towards umbrellas for our Ladiwali school students for the upcoming monsoon.

As we move towards a gradual opening post Covid we did not want the rains to play a dampener. We look forward to full classrooms once again.
