More than thirty chess players and their families came out to Eastern Market Metro Park Plaza this past Saturday, April 26th to play in the first of three Chess in the Park tournaments this spring. We had some light rain for about 20 minutes in the middle of the event, which did not phase the children who were happy to continue playing chess rain or shine.
We have two more FREE Chess in the Park tournaments planned for Eastern Market Metro Park this spring, on May 10th and June 7th, so bring your friends and help your school win the Top DC School trophy. Any student in grades 2-8 who knows the real rules of chess and understands tournament etiquette is welcome to play. However, space is limited, so we recommend you pre-register online. Â
Hopefully, we will have sunny weather next time!
