This past weekend, our chess outreach team hosted the 1st Ithaca Scholastic Tournament at Boynton Middle School! The tournament was attended by 30 K-12 students of many nearby schools. Thank you to everyone who attended and special thanks to Boynton Middle School for graciously providing the venue space. We look forward to continuing to inspire interest in chess and encourage a love for the game in all nearby communities! :)
