Apaixonado por música, João Pedro Anchieta, de 12 anos, sempre estudou em escolas particulares. Mas foi preciso chegar ao ensino público, em 2022, para ter acesso a aulas de violino e se encantar pelas notas do instrumento. Como aluno da rede municipal de Saquarema, João desenvolveu ainda mais um dom: o de atleta de xadrez. O que ele não havia imaginado é que poderia unir as habilidades em um único evento – a 1ª etapa do Circuito Regional Escolar de Xadrez, que aconteceu em abril no distrito de Bacaxá, na qual ele subiu ao pódio da categoria Sub-12 e participou de uma apresentação da música “Jogo de Xadrez”, de Paulinho Nogueira.
Ao lado de João, cerca de 50 alunos do Conexão do Futuro, programa de contraturno escolar de Saquarema que além de música e xadrez oferece atividades como robótica, línguas, dança e outros, participaram do evento. Ao todo, eles conquistaram 11 medalhas: quatro de ouro; três de prata; e quatro de bronze.
– O torneio contou com a participação de escolas e clubes federados de xadrez, mas nossos alunos competiram em pé de igualdade com eles, mostrando que o trabalho desenvolvido em Saquarema está no mesmo nível das melhores instituições da região – resume Eduardo Teixeira, coordenador de xadrez do projeto, gerido pelo Instituto de Desenvolvimento, Pesquisa e Inovação (IDPI).
Os campeões da primeira etapa já estão classificados para o Campeonato Estadual de Xadrez, que acontece em novembro, em Nova Friburgo. Já os medalhistas de segundo e terceiro lugares têm vaga garantida na etapa final do circuito escolar.
– Durante a preparação das mais de seis turmas do Conexão, oferecemos aulas não só de xadrez, mas de preparação psicológica. Agora, estamos de olho no Estadual, um marco para os alunos de Saquarema – finaliza Teixeira.
O objetivo do Conexão do Futuro é continuar levando os alunos a participarem de todas as sete etapas regionais da Federação de Xadrez do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (Fexerj), que acontecem ao longo do ano.
