The U.S. Chess Center, in continued partnership with Barracks Row Main Street, was pleased to be able to stage another edition of Chess in the Park this past Saturday, May 10 at Eastern Market Metro. The 54 students who played enjoyed some lovely weather, made new friends and played some exciting games of chess.
A total of 32 schools were represented at the tournament: 15 from the District of Columbia, 10 from Maryland and 7 from Virginia. Washington Latin’s team took home the trophy for the best-performing DC team, while Yu Ying PCS was the runner-up in that category.
Eastern Market Metro will play host to one more Chess in the Park event this summer, on June 7, and any student in grades 2-9 who knows the rules of tournament chess may register to play.
