🏆👏🏽 Congratulations to all players and winners who competed in our Columbia End-of-School-Year Chess Tournament on May 30th!

We wrapped up the school year with an incredible tournament featuring 45+ players from across South Carolina! Students demonstrated outstanding focus, strategy, sportsmanship, and determination throughout the day. Whether it was a student's first tournament or they were competing for a championship trophy, it was wonderful to see so many young chess players learning, growing, and enjoying the game. ♟
