This year’s edition of the National Inter-School Team Chess Championships (NST) was held online for the very first time due to the Covid-19 Pandemic. The annual event organized by the Singapore Chess Federation (SCF) had participation from approximately 528 students representing a total of 46 schools. The Secondary Section ran from 26-29 October, followed by the Primary Section from 9-12 November.
We would like to thank especially all the teachers-in-charge and their personnel involved including the Principals’ support and all the participating students for making this event a success.
Besides our pairing arbiters IA Tan Tian Wah and WFM Thanda Aye Win, the volunteer arbiters were the junior players from the SCF’s High Performance (HP) and High Performance-Intermediate (HP-I) Squads that were part of our National Junior Squad.
Mr Eric Chua, Parliamentary Secretary for Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth was our Guest of Honour who graciously took the time to join us on the last day of the competition had given a simple and meaningful speech.
A big congratulations to all the winning teams who had performed exceedingly well and garnered medals as well as doing their schools proud at this event. Below are the results of this year's NST:
