Potomac Youth Chess League New Season is Underway

The 2025 season of the Potomac Youth Chess League, the online competition we run for middle schools in the greater Washington D.C. area, began on January 11.  Matches take place on lichess.com on Saturday afternoons. 

The League has grown to ten schools this year, with The Avalon School and Sligo Creek Middle School in Montgomery County, MD, Cooper Middle School and Longfellow Middle School in Fairfax County, VA, and San Miguel School in northwest DC all joining the competition for the first time.  Good luck to all the participating schools this season!
