Ist Joan Caba Chess Tournament
Last Saturday we opened the school doors again and celebrated the
1st Chess tournament at EIC. It was a friendly and animated event
dedicated to Joan Caba, our former extra curricular chess teacher, who
passed away last summer. Some of his students, family and friends
gathered together to play chess and to thank him for his memorable
teaching of this sport's values to our students. It was a very positive
experience which will be repeated in the future!

QUORIDOR
Un joc d'estratègia amb poques normes i ben divertit.
Es juga a un taulell de 9×9 caselles. L’objectiu de cada jugador és arribar a qualsevol casella del costat contrari, la qual cosa seria senzilla si no fos per
que cada jugador disposa de 5 a 10 parets (depèn de si juguen 2 o 4) per fer la guitza i dificultar el camí fent-lo més llarg.
•És bo per treballar: estratègia, tàctica, càlcul i concentració.
•Jugadors: de 2 a 4.
•Edat recomanada: a partir de 6 anys i fins els 106.
•Durada: entre 15 i 20 minuts.
