Some of the SAIntS Chess club players participated in the African World Schools Championship Qualifiers on 24^th and 25^th February 2023. Fifteen Malawian players competed against players from other African countries and only two Malawian players qualified. We are delighted that Shrey Kamath (Year 12) performed exceptionally well,  ranking number 2 in the Under 17 open section with 6.5/9 points. This means Shrey has qualified for World School Chess Championship to be held in Greece between 13^th and 23^rd April 2023. The SAIntS family joins the Chess Association of Malawi (CHESSAM) in congratulating Shrey for representing and putting Malawi on the map bwith his outstanding achievement in the championship qualifiers. The other participants in the qualifiers from SAIntS were Prince Mulli, Baruch Kaotcha, Marceau Loiseau and Kasinath Jayan; they all cherished the experience of competing against chess players from other African countries.
