DIMENSIONS is happy to announce the achievements of one talented individual. Pranav Balasubramaniam from 6R, has received 3rd place in the 33rd Sunday Rapid challenge hosted by the Kasparov Chess Foundation Asia-Pacific Pte Ltd (KCFAP). Congratulations on this amazing achievement and continue to strive for the best! 

Chess teaches you many skills like problem-solving, planning ahead, keeping calm under pressure, and creativity. When playing chess, your brain will be challenged to exercise logic, develop pattern recognition, make decisions both visually and analytically, and test your memory. Chess can be enjoyed by any age—as a result, these brain exercises can be part of the health of your brain for your entire life. An active brain is a healthy brain.  

The KCFAP was incorporated in Singapore and launched by Garry Kasparov on 16 November 2013 during the Singapore Chess Federation Awards Night. The objective of KCFAP is to catalyse and promote the adoption of chess in education in the Asia-Pacific region.
