Near clean sweep by MBS Boys in Chess Tournament
The Bangsar Zone chess tournament organized by the State Education Department saw a near clean sweep by the MBS boys in the U-15 category. Lead by national ranked chess players Yap Eng Chiam, Albert Ang and Tan Wei Hao, who were champions, first runners-up and second runners-up respectively, our boys swept nearly all the first 12 places, except for fourth, tenth and eleventh placings. It was indeed a great feat and the training by the coaches and guidance of their teacher Yong Lai Yean have come to fruition. The U-18 boys did not fare so well but still managed to clinch second runners-up and fourth placings. Let us hope they will produce the same feat in the state championship. Chess is a niche area in MBS under the Cluster School of Excellence Program. Go forward MBS!
