Here are the latest news about the chess team…
Our Minneapolis Southwest chess team finished in 2nd place in the Bronze division of an Adult League. There were 23 teams competing over the past 7 months in this league that has been competing for over 50 years. Our team now earns a position in the Silver division next year - an elite status within the chess community.
In two weeks our team of 7 players will be competing in the Minnesota State Championships where we will place among the top 3 teams - perhaps 1st place!!! This is going to take place on March 31st and April 1st at the Crown Plaza Hotel in downtown St. Paul. Be there if you can.
In mid-April we will be competing at the National Championships that are being held in Minneapolis this year for the first time ever. The top schools in the country (mostly from New York) will be traveling here for the Championships. We will have, as they say, home field advantage.
