TOURNAMENTS FOR 2012
Welcome to the Tournament page.
Tournaments are an essential part of the chess program. Tournaments test the skills players have been developing at their clubs and give them an idea of where they stand among other students. However competitive, tournaments are still fun. National and Statewide tournaments are more like events rather than competitions. Typically at these events students and parents can see Simuls,Blind-folded games, analysis of games, raffles, and other chess related events.
