On Saturday, October 22, 278 students from 37 schools participated in our first tournament of the season. The tournament saw many student returning to compete for another year and many new faces competing at their first tournament. The students, chaperones, and staff had a fun filled day of chess and went home well fed.
One coach wrote “Most of our students were nervous, anxious and timid coming into the day. For many of them, it was their first inter-school competition of any sort ever, much less chess. Being able to play in a tournament that was so well run with such great direction and a general sense of joy was huge for them: they left the tournament today totally bought into chess. They’re asking for more practice, more tournaments, more play with other students.”
Congratulations to all the students who came out and competed in this wonderful tournament.
