The Konik Chess Competition

Following our student Krystian Bernas’ recent success (winning a tournament in Olsztyn and achieving a second chess category), we have more great news to share about the royal game. The highly anticipated results from the nationwide Konik chess  competition held in November have just been released. In its first edition on October 24th, over 1000 schools across the country participated. Eight of our students from Regent competed in various age groups, from elementary school to high school.

Two third-year high school students, Aleksander Stankiewicz and Mateusz Martewicz, performed the best on the set of 30 chess puzzles, scoring 107.5 and 105 points respectively. They secured the 3rd and 4th places in the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship. Our previously mentioned 6th grader, Krzysztof Bernas, achieved a very good result, placing 5th in the voivodeship with 132.5 points and securing 8th place overall. Konstanty Wroński, also a third-year high school student, achieved 8th place in the Pawn category, and his classmate Antoni Rokicki secured 25th place.

The competition not only brought us a lot of excitement but also strengthened our students’ ability to concentrate and find tactical patterns. We are confident that our Regent students will participate and compete for top places in the next edition next year!
