Chess Inter-Schools 2024
Apr 13, 2024
On Friday, 12th April our school took part in the Inter-Schools Chess Tournament held at St Nicholas College Dingli. During this competition, a total of 188 students formed 52 teams from 22 different schools around Malta.
Our school participated with three teams: St Michael Magnus formed by Kyle Cassar, Isaac Sacco, Zack Silvio, and Kyle Sammut; St Michael Kasparov formed by Carl Thorne, Manuel Cutajar Lofaro, Thomas Ellul and Gianluca Aber; and St Michael Karpov formed by Wayne Vella, Thomas Cassar, Thomas Cassar, Stephen Edwards, and Nicolai Mangion.
Last year our teams placed second and fifth place, and this year we had another successful participation. The team St Michael Magnus placed third place and brought another trophy at school. St Michael Kasparov placed sixth while Karpov placed tenth place. We deem this result as a very successful one, considering that 3 teams placed with the first 10 places out of 52 teams.
Besides the excellent result obtained our students showed their skills throughout the whole tournament.
We congratulate all the students who took part in this competition and the Malta Federation of Chess for the organisation of this activity. We thank Mr Alex Farrugia for his commitment and dedication and for teaching Chess to our students.
