The snowy weather impacted this weekend’s Elementary Team League somewhat, as several of the participating teams were missing players. Those who did come join us yesterday at St. Luke’s enjoyed some exciting games of chess.
With the absences this week, schools who fielded full teams had an opportunity to move up in the overall standings. Spring Hill was one of the schools who did exactly that, winning both their matches to assume the top spot in the overall standings. Churchill Road was another to take advantage, picking up two match victories to advance to second place. With the season now more than half finished, lots of schools are still in contention.
