The 15th Edition of the SMCA Chess WORT (Weekly Online Rapids Tournament) had an amazing turnout with ample amount of students from our Regular Group Class batches participating. The tournament involves a duelling of the minds, just as arm wrestling is a duelling of strength. The competition, while challenging, allows for players to improve their game through practice and experience. The Chess WORT is held on lichess.org exclusively for SMCA students and it had 2 categories: the ‘Champions & Challengers’ The Champions’ category had participants who had been winners in the last Editions of the tournament while the Challengers’ category had relatively new players. In this tournament we had 15 participants from champions side and 22 participants from challengers side which made the event remarkable.
