In spite of the heat, we had 61 students show up to Eastern Market Metro yesterday for the second edition of Chess in the Park for the season. We ultimately cut the event 25 minutes short because of the weather, but a majority of the students got to play at least six games, with some playing as many as ten.
Over a dozen elementary and middle schools throughout the District of Columbia, Maryland and Northern Virginia were represented among the players. BASIS DC took the trophy for the top-performing team. St. Peter School fielded the largest team with 12 players (10 of whom were girls!) Congratulations to all who participated.
