As Marking Period 2 is winding DOWN, the Chess Club is in search of its next champion to CROWN. That's right, the Chess Club is back. There will be a Chess Club BLITZ Tournament on Wednesday, January 29. Blitz Chess is a fast-paced version of chess where each player only has a limited time to move. We will be presenting prizes to the top 3 chess players. Players of all ability are welcome to enter the tournament. Spectators are welcome to watch the proceedings. If you want like to compete in the Chess Club BLITZ Tournament on Wednesday, January 29, fill out the Google form on the Chess Club Google classroom. Please fill out that sign-up form by Friday, January 24 to secure your entry. See Mr. DeRosa, Mathias, or Tony G if you have questions about the tournament proceedings. We hope to see you at the next Chess Club BLITZ Tournament.
