Dear Friends,
Holidays come and go so quickly, and its time to start planning for year-end school holidays again.

This year, our programs start early in October as most who will be playing in MSSM-Masterskill National Scholastic Chess Championship (8-12 November 2010, under the auspices of MoE) would like to have some form of preparation before the tournament.Pls click here for entry form.  The program is Building Up Young Talent, 8 sessions of 3 hours daily, 2.30-5.30pm, 25-28 Oct, 1-4 Nov 2010.  For those who are planning to vie for a place in the school/state team next year, this will be a good warm-up lap as all 14 states will be sending their team.  Besides, this is also a rated tournament.  As the MoE has written a letter to the each State Education Dept., students are allowed to take leave from school during this period.
