Chayawat Pisessith
Mr. Chayawat Pisessith was elected to be President of Contract Bridge League of Thailand (CBLT) back in 2015. He sees the importance of youth to the future of bridge, and as President he set the vison of the Thai NBO to improve bridge in youth. After years of teaching and promoting bridge, CBLT have successfully create new generation of bridge players in Thailand. Upon reaching the success, we have realised that we do not have enough tournament to support the new generation.
In 2019, Zone 6, Asia Pacific Bridge Federation (APBF) honoured Mr. Chayawat Pisessith with Pisessith’s Cup for The First Under 15 category in 23rd APBF Youth Championship. Then in 2020, Dr. Suebsak Sirijaraya Chairman of Bridge Section, The Royal Bangkok Sport Club (RBSC), in support of the vision therefore propose Chayawat’s Cup. Along with RBSC, Mr. Chayawat Pisessith have kindly sponsor youth tournaments creating 1st Chayawat’s Cup. Sadly, due to the pandemic, we have to postpone The 2nd Chayawat’s Cup from 2021 to this year.
