General

Singapore earned a Team Bronze at the Weiqi segment in the second World Mind Sports Games, held in Lille, France.  The Weiqi segment alone saw 290 participants from as many as 30 countries competing for top positions.  Our students, Kwa Jie Hui (3P2) and Gabriel Leow Zihui (4S2) brought pride to Singapore by garnering a medal in the Under-21 category.

In addition, despite being the youngest team member from Singapore, Jie Hui demonstrated quick thinking and strategy to beat world number 7, Oleg Mezhou of Russia, placing Singapore on the word’s podium.

今年,第二届世界智运会在法国里尔(Lille)举行,其中围棋比赛共吸引了30个国家的290名代表参加。我校学生柯杰晖(中三)廖子辉(中四)除了代表我国角逐21岁以下青少年比赛的奖牌之外,柯杰辉更为新加坡团队立功。

虽然是代表团中年纪最小的选手,柯杰辉却表现出大将之风,凭着精湛的棋艺,力挫欧洲围棋个人赛名列第七的俄罗斯代表奥利格(Oleg Mezhov),为新加坡队抢先赢得优势。经过一番苦斗,新加坡队终于成功拿下一枚铜牌。
