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 last weekend. 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. Cooper holds the early lead on tiebreaks, having won their opening match 8-0. Good luck to all the participating schools this season!
