December Report from the Director

Dear Chess Friends & Families,

That makes two in a row! With our November Team Tournaments turning up big teams and enthusiastic players, at PS 130m in Manhattan and PS 230 in Brooklyn, we can feel the energy lining up for the Grade National Championships coming up December 15-17 in Orlando. Join us there!

Please note that this month, due to Grades and the holidays, our December Team Tournaments will run early, on December 10th. Register here:

These events are open to all players and teams citywide, and they sell out, so don't wait too long.

Congratulations to our Top 50 players for the month of December! We look forward to seeing you knock it out of the park in Orlando!

Join us on December 26-29 for our Holiday camps. We'll be running three locations, and the Marshall Camp will be open to all ratings:

Last but not least, Spring Semester Registration is now open!

Thanks so much,

Coach West

PS Keep your eyes open in January for the Manhattan & Brooklyn Cup team events (January 21), as well as our Winter Festival (January 15)!
