The Inter-House Chess Tournament: Where Strategy Meets Triumph 

Reviewed by Sathira Marahela and Shahrukh Fairooz  

   
Chess is the silent dance of pieces across a checkered board where each move is a mix of attack and defense. This is a dynamic battlefield with countless possibilities, one wrong maneuver is all it takes for the game to change completely. Chess is not just a game, but a testament to the power of intellect. 

The Inter-House Chess Tournament took place on the 29th and 30th of April 2024 at the Trinity College premises. The tournament was an all-play-all, meaning that each team from each house will have played with each other at least once.  As the time drew close, the commotion settled and all the players were ready to bring glory to their respective houses.  

As the tournament came to an end, the players were eager to know the final results of the tournament. The battle of the minds had come to an end and the results were as follows; 

Senior houses 
 
1st place  – Lemuel House – 25 points 

2nd place – Oorloof House – 18.5 points 

3rd place – Garret House – 11.5 points 

4th place – Central Boarding House – 11 points 

5th place – Simithraaratchy House – 9 points 

Junior houses 

1st place – Sahayam House – 24 points  

2nd place – Gibson House – 18 points  

3rd place – Squealery House – 7 points.  

4th place – Pilcher House – 10 points 

5th place – Saunders House – 55points 

The entire team of chess players was contented, despite the result, because they knew that they had gone the extra mile to win the tournament. The wins and losses the players faced throughout the tournament had surely been a learning experience. It is almost certain that everyone improved something after participating in this tournament, whether it be chess or even quick decision-making. A heartfelt gratitude to Ms. Roshaliya Benedict, the Teacher-in-charge of chess, for her contribution in making this event a success, as well as the coach Mr. Rajeendra Kalugampitiya for his unwavering commitment. Congratulations to all participants for their exceptional performances.
