The competitive encounter calls for teamwork, resolute determination, and self-discipline along with cognitive, social and emotional skills learned throughout the year in the framework of the Mind Lab program.
The championship teams compete in four Olympic games:
Abalone
Abalone is an exciting strategy game requiring in-depth understanding of harmonious structures, unyielding patience, and adaptability.
The beautiful and functional abalone board has room for two teams of large marbles. Players take turns pushing the marbles around the board, with the goal of pushing the opposing player's pieces off the board.
The central idea is that a column of marbles has weight given by the number of marbles in line. 
Someone will need to push with a heavier group of marbles in order to push the column along that axis. The first player to push 6 of his opponent's marbles will win the game.
Abalone was invented in 1987 by Laurent Levi and Michel Lalet.

Checkers
Checkers is an abstract strategy game where players move disc-shaped pieces across an 8 by 8
cross-hatched ("checker") board.
Pieces only move diagonally, and only one space at a time. If a player can move one of his pieces so that it "jumps" over an adjacent piece of their opponent and into an empty space, that player captures the opponent's disc. Jumping moves must be taken when possible, thereby creating a strategy game where players offer up jumps in exchange for setting up the board so that they jump even more pieces on their turn.
A player wins by removing all of his opponent's pieces from the board or by blocking the opponent so that he has no more moves.
Checkers (in British English: Draughts) has ancient roots. It is thought that the earliest form of Checkers was a game discovered in an archaeological dig at Ur in Iraq. Carbon dating indicates that this game was played around 3000 B.C. However, that game used a slightly different board, a different number of pieces, and no one is quite certain of its exact rules.

Quoridor
Quoridor is an abstract strategy game which is surprisingly deep for its simple rules.
The object of the game is to advance your pawn to the opposite edge of the board. On your turn you may either move your pawn, or place a barrier. You may hinder your opponent with barrier placement, but not completely block him off. Meanwhile he is trying to do the same to you. First pawn to reach the opposite side wins.
Quoridor was invented in 1995 by Mirko Marchesi of Italy.
Octi
Octi is a game of strategy for two players. Although the rules are simple, the variety of options creates a very deep game of strategy.
On each turn, players must decide whether to move or improve their pieces. The object of the game is to be the first player to occupy the opponent's home bases. Although the rules are simple, the variety of options creates a very deep game of strategy which requires long term planning abilities and short term calculation skills.
Octi was invented by Prof Donald Green of Yale University in 1998.
