Another draw to close the Championship. Matthew faced his strongest opponent of the event, a 2051-rated Candidate Master, while Benjamin Calleja Falzon secured his third victory of the tournament. Steve Dimech received a walkover after the Austrian team fielded three players.
De La Salle finishes the European Continental Stage in 23rd place with 4 match points, earned through three draws and a bye.
Beyond the standings, there was plenty to take home. The boys gave their all on the board, learned with every round and built new friendships with students from different countries, cultures and backgrounds. And as this photo from the closing ceremony shows, they leave Armenia having embraced every part of the experience, both on and off the board.
Well done to the De La Salle College team and a big thank you to coach Matthias Gatt for his work with the team.
Thanks also to Visit Malta for its continued support in helping our young players take their chess from school competition to the international stage..
