Tianwen Gao
Tianwen started to learn chess in April 2014. In less than 4 months, she is listed as the top Kindergarten girl in CMA raing!
Sadly, we have to say farewell to Tianwen, as she is moving to US. We will sure miss this adorable and talented student.
Sean Lei
Jonathan Zhao
Jonathan Zhao and Sean Lei are big winners of the CFC Grand Prix 2013-2014. All together they won $900 CYCC bursaries, $200 GP money, 8 trophies, 4 medals, 2 plaques and 4 T-shirts!
Jonathan started to play chess when he was in Kindergarten. Within a year, while he was still in Kindergarten, his CMA rating had reached 1000. He has been one of the top players of his age since then.
Sean came to Oriole 2 years ago with both CFC and CMA rating around 800. His CFC rating is now over 2000! His enthusiasm, sportsmanship, willingness to help….. made him our good role model at the chess club.
