Another year of full house at the 10th Annual ISF Academy Chess Open last Sunday on Mar 10, 2019.

With over 68 schools and close to 250 players participating, the event is The BIGGEST Chess Tournament

that students look forward to in Hong Kong!

After the initial handshakes, each player engaged in six rounds of chess in a gym charged with high-

intensity, brain power. From the youngest 4-year-old player to the oldest 18-year-olds, everyone had fun

while giving maximum effort. After over six hours of ‘battle’, everybody was proud of the fantastic brain

workout and attitude that the participants produced.

The event was a resounding success. Special thanks go to all the devoted parents who patiently stood by the

students’ sides throughout the whole day for both physical and mental support. We were most pleased with

the excellent results and the very positive remarks received from the students/parents about the tournament.

Hope to see all the players at the next tournament – The 10th Annual Beginners Tournament (Apr 14,

2019) and The 10th Annual Hong Kong Scholastic Championship (Jun 9, 2019)

As our ActiveKids' constant efforts to improve ourselves and to invest into our resources, we are also

extremely proud to have a Grand Master (GM) joining ActiveKids TCA Team in the beginning of April.

He will be the FIRST and ONLY GM actively coaching in HK!
