The inaugural season of the DC Public Charter High School chess league concluded on Tuesday, May 11th, and went well. Among three teams it was close throughout, and Somerset is ready to be competitive in the fall.

In the fall, we will be re-launching the Metro Area Chess League (MACL) for all interested high schools in the DC metropolitan area. The 2021-2022 MACL season will begin in mid-November 2021 and conclude with play-offs at the end of March 2022. Schools that want to participate should send us a note at: hs-league@chessctr.org

We also welcome high school students to our Sunday Chess class. Registration for the Fall 2021 session will begin in late August 2021.

The Center is pleased to donate books to Berkeley Springs High School as they create a chess program. Their teacher, Pedro Miguel, and his daughter accepted two boxes from David Mehler. We plan to arrange a virtual match between the West Virginia school and some of our students, and they plan to attend an in-person tournament in DC later this year. #chess #chessinschools #us_chess_center #chessforkids ...
