Congratulations to all of the winners this year. A prize money was awarded to the Tokyo Bilingual Chess Club Team B as a second place in an A class category.   All TBCC kids have got the special "Gambatta" prize as well.  

The Club Championship had a good balance of focus and fun. The students were all there to learn, but also socialize and enjoy themselves. We are all really proud of the heart and effort of all these kids!  Thanks to all the parents and coaches who support scholastic chess in Japan!
