Vedanth, who is a regular chess player, reached a new level last weekend participating in the under 16s Celtic nations chess tournament. This was his first international tournament.
He played all day long and by the end was the best placed player in his team.
Well Done Vedanth!
Vedanth in P4 received a trophy for achieving 3rd place in the P5 & Under category in the Chess Scotland Primary Individual Championship 2021 tournament. He competed against 100 participants playing against children of all ages till P7 and was 12th overall in spite of being up to 3 years younger than some competitors.
Congratulations Vedanth!
