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.

Famous quotes containing the word chess:
“Work, as we usually think of it, is energy expended for a further end in view; play is energy expended for its own sake, as with children’s play, or as manifestation of the end or goal of work, as in “playing” chess or the piano. Play in this sense, then, is the fulfillment of work, the exhibition of what the work has been done for.”
—Northrop Frye (1912–1991)
“But compared with the task of selecting a piece of French pastry held by an impatient waiter a move in chess is like reaching for a salary check in its demand on the contemplative faculties.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
“Remember...that each child is a separate person, yours forever, but never fully yours. She can never be all you wished or wanted, or all you know she could be. But she will be a better human being if you can let her be herself.”
—Stella Chess (20th century)
