March 3rd Team Tournament - Saratoga Prep

The March 3rd Saratoga Prep Team Tournament hosted almost 350 players who participated in both our Manhattan and Brooklyn Team events. Players and teams from all ICN partner programs joined our events, contributing to the vibrant and inclusive chess community we strive to foster.

The March 3rd Invitational created an atmosphere charged with excitement and energy as many battles were fought a week before heading off to NY State Championship.

We extend our congratulations to each player who attended, demonstrating dedication through countless hours of practice, hard work, and training, making the Sunday event a day of thoughtful and friendly competition.

Following intense battles, we are delighted to acknowledge both our dedicated individual and team winners! Please find the complete standings available below.
