Chess
Baldwin Boys' High School organizes an inter-school chess Competition, "CHEX”. Abid Majid participated in an International Chess Competition held in Abu Dhabi and was judged the best junior player. Later, he went to Moscow to participate in a competition sponsored by the Russian Embassy and beat a Russian Grandmaster. Each year the school hosts up to 200 young chess players from schools around Bangalore. For the past few years the inter-school tournament has not been held. Indian Grandmaster Raja Ravishekar has been the judge for a number of years.
