Yat Sen Secondary School

At the beginning of the year, I set down the aim of defending all 3 school level chess tites, namely the Secondary Schools Chess Champion title, the Secondary Schools Teams and the Under 20 Championship. At the end, we achieved it with the same people defending their respective titles: Rui Cao, defending his Secondary Schools Title, Yat Sen 1(consisting of Rui Cao, Tom Chen and Kevin Chung) winning the Secondary School Teams and Tom Chen winning the Under 20. I was pleased to with the result and the level of interest shown by the Yat Sen chess players.

Below is a list of tournaments and winners:

Kundun Singh Open	Yuen Kongman: 1st in Group B
