The Hildan Chess Club is one such CCA that we aspire to help our pupils to develop a life-long interest in chess. We aim to develop in them good thinking skills, sharpen their intellect, build up good social and communication skills, enhance their self-confidence and develop their analytical ability, which are crucial elements for achievements and success.

63rd National Schools Individual Chess Championships

On Wednesday, 16 March 2011, 48 pupils from the Hildan Chess Club took part in the 63rd National Schools Individual Chess Championships held at Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel.

Our pupils put up a tough fight against strong competition from other schools and in the true spirit of sportsmanship, they were never discouraged and they fought hard to the end in each game. After seven rounds, with a score of 4.5 points (1.5 points behind the winner), Chugh Ashish (Open U10) finished 23rd in a field of 92. Asfia Khalique (Girls U9) and Chugh Anshul (Girls U9) finished 12th and 13th respectively. Most importantly, our pupils walked away from the tournament with an enriching experience.

SHPS Chess Club teachers would like to applaud our pupils for their hard work and thank our parent volunteers for their help.
