CHESS CLUB BAKiNG CLUB

FIDE, the international board of chess, sent a team of analysts headed by one of the world’s most renowned chess cheating experts, Ken Regan, to analyse Niemann’s games, and Regan stated that he found no evidence of cheating in any of the games, including Carlsen’s game against Niemann This led to debates on social media, whether Niemann had actually cheated or not. The issue became even more heated in October 2022, when Niemann filed a lawsuit demanding $100 million in compensation for the damages his career received through the controversy Carlsen and other grandmasters dismissed it as a “public relations stunt”, and a lot of chess organizations canceled their invitations to him for upcoming tournaments

Currently, there is no answer as to whether Niemann cheated or not, and unless substantial evidence is published by FIDE or Chess com, the answer shall not be found Ethics always matter, even over the chess board

Neev Academy’s Baking club has become a popular hub for our members to create delicious and decadent varieties of baked goods and savory dishes From the ups and downs of the oven problems to chats and collaborations in creating some of our favorite foods, the baking club is always lively and interactive ys when baking ends early or we are required to wait for the baked goods to bake, we try to keep our members interested by engaging them in fun Kahoot quizzes about cooking and baking and the techniques and utensils used behind the scenes Every week it's a competition among the students to see who can answer the questions correctly and the fastest! Sometimes our members are able to learn more about the technicalities of baking and it's always a bonus to play these quizzes together

Fudgy brownies, warm banana bread, crunchy nachos, tangy lemon bars, flavorful chaat, and Christmas gingerbread cookies are just a few of the many appetizing dishes that we have created When deciding cipe for each session, we often try to switch between cooking and baking each week, therefore ing more exposure so that students can learn and try out techniques and unique recipes each Similarly, assigning each member an ingredient to bring to the session, pushes them to become nvolved in the ongoings of the club. We have also noticed that splitting the club up into 2 groups recipe each has made our members more involved and driven to play their part in the creation of shes We have noticed them become more excited to try their own creations and in the process ore effort into baking and cooking.

Overall it is always fun to work on baking and cooking projects with our members, especially when the best part is testing out whether our final products have tasted good or not
