Krzyś Bernas, a 6th-grade student from our primary school, emerged as the undisputed winner of the nationwide Konik Chess Puzzle Competition in the Grades 4–6 category. The second edition of the competition was held at our school at the end of April. A total of 14 students represented Regent School in the spring edition, with half of them being high school students.
In addition to Krzyś’s fantastic achievement, we are also proud to celebrate the 3rd place in the province earned by high school senior Franciszek Olechnowicz in the „Queen” category (for high school students), as well as the 5th place in the province achieved by Robert Symonowicz from Grade 3 in the „Pawn” category (for Grades 1–3).
For their outstanding results, Krzyś and Franciszek received vouchers worth 100 PLN and 50 PLN respectively, which they’ll likely use to expand their chess book collections.
Solving chess exercisiesis is like participating in math competitions—it requires not only chess knowledge (specifically tactics) but also focus, emotional control, and precision in calculating variations.
These are the skills that our talented and hardworking students continue to develop during sessions of the Regent Chess Club, where everyone is warmly welcome—even during the final weeks of the second semester!
