5/7/2017 – It would have been a nice, but fairly normal chess initiative that would never have been reported here were it not for the highly unusual result. The Chittagong District Sports Association (CJKA) organized for the first time a school team chess tournament named the CJKS Nails and Wood Inter School Team Chess Tournament 2017. Open to all, with boys teams and girls teams, the unbeaten champion was the Chittagong Government School for the Blind.
