The schedule of the FIDE World School Championship 2025 in Vrnjačka Banja featured only one day with two rounds of play.
Young chess players tackled this demanding challenge on the third day with determination, despite the difficulty of preparing for two different opponents and playing two important games back-to-back. It was also a great opportunity for photographers to capture memorable moments from the tournament hall.
After four exciting rounds, the competition remains wide open, with only two sole leaders—Madinabonu Asadova (Girls U9) and Malika Japparbekova (Girls U15)—emerging across twelve tournaments.
Sunday is a rest day, with an excursion planned for the participants. The competition will resume with Round 5 on Monday, March 24.
