Shah Alam, Selangor, Malaysia – Tenby Schools Setia Eco Park has once again made a significant mark on the international chess scene, claiming the top spot in both the junior and senior categories of the ISP Chess Masters Tournament.

The ISP Chess Masters Tournament is more than just a competition; it's a platform for students to develop critical life skills like strategic thinking, problem-solving, and decision-making.
