The students of I LO, coached by Sławomir Zimniak, achieved success. The youngest participants in the tournament, primary school students, performed very well, taking strong places among the high school students, while the youngest competitor, Rafał Molenda, narrowly missed out on a bronze medal.
All participants were honored with commemorative certificates and material gifts. The prizes for the winners were funded by the president of Bolesławiec Bridge Club.
