On Saturday, March 15, the Team School Chess Competition of Thessaloniki – Chalkidiki was hosted for the first time at the Schools, marking the beginning of our collaboration with the Chess Association of Thessaloniki – Chalkidiki.
A total of 86 school teams from Elementary, Junior, and Senior High School, each consisting of at least four members, competed in the 23rd Open Team School Chess Competition of Thessaloniki – Chalkidiki 2025. The event was impeccably organized, leaving all participants satisfied. The Technical Meeting, where competition details were explained, took place at the Theater of the Cultural Center of the Schools. The matches and award ceremonies followed in the indoor gym, where parents could watch from the stands.
The representative team of the Junior High School of E. Mandoulides Schools achieved an outstanding distinction by securing 1st place and the gold medal in the Junior High School category. The team consists of the following students: K. Misios (7th grade), A. Nikaki (8th grade), E. Sikalidou, M. – K. Skodras, and O. Chasiotis (9th grade).
The team’s next goal is the Panhellenic Team School Chess Championship, which, after many years, will be held at the Thessaloniki International Trade Fair – Exhibition (TIF) in early May.
We sincerely congratulate our students on this remarkable achievement and wish them success in the Panhellenic Team School Chess Competition!
