Two more rounds were played today at the FIDE World Schools Team Championship in Aktau.\u00a0<\/p>

Two teams are in the lead in the U18 section. Four match victories of\u00a0Istanbul ENKA High School<\/em>\u00a0come as no surprise as Turkish players are the rating favourites of the event. So far, IM Isik Can and his peers have conceded only half a point to their opponents.\u00a0<\/p>

\"\"<\/p>

The same result from\u00a0Velammal Vidyalaya Alapakkam,<\/em>\u00a0a school in Chennai, India,\u00a0<\/em>is even more impressive as they started 11th. The team made a tricky choice of putting their lowest-rated player, Santhosh V L, on the top board, and he has a tough time, but his teammates greatly compensate for that.\u00a0<\/p>

In the U12 category, the Indian squad of\u00a0Velammal MHS Mogappair\u00a0<\/em>is in sole lead with four match wins. Tomorrow they will be put to serious test facing the\u00a0National Physics & Mathematics School\u00a0<\/em>of Kazakhstan, trailing just one point behind.<\/p>

\"\"<\/p>

Apart from creating chess masterpieces, the participants of the Championship continue exploring what Aktau has to offer. Today the players visited a local water park to refill their batteries and lift team spirits! The organizers prepared a diverse program of fun side activities so everyone would return home with lifetime memories.\u00a0<\/p>
