CCA Previews ’21: Chess Club

Reading Time: 2 minutes

By Ramesh Aadhitya (21S03Q), Chairperson and Ryan Pang (21S03A), Vice-Chairperson

Former world chess champion Vladimir Kramnik once said “I am convinced, the way one plays chess always reflects the player’s personality. If something defines his character, then it will also define his way of playing.”

At Raffles Chess Club, we don’t think of chess as just a game, but also as an art with many nuances and complexities that are waiting to be discovered. Regardless of a player’s skill level, chess has something to offer, be it an opportunity to forge new friendships with fellow members, or the thrill of being engaged in an exciting battle of strategy and wits.

What is Astronomy?

Junior College is a time for self-discovery, big questions about life (where am I going after my A-levels?) and developing new interests. One of humanity’s most basal interests, ever since we lifted our heads up to gaze at the sky, has been stars. 

As humans learnt more about them and tracked their motions in the night sky, further questions arose, such as “What is our place amongst the stars?” and “Is there life on other planets?” The search for answers continues to this day.
