More than 560 students from grades K-12 participated in Chicago’s largest US Chess Federation rated tournament of the year – the 11th Annual Greater Chicago K-12 Championship. The competition was fierce, but at the end of the day this year’s City of Chicago Chess Champions were crowned.
The tournament is part of a Scholastic Championships Series of tournaments, spanning two-thirds of the nation. The event is made possible by the collaboration of Chicago Public Schools’ Academic Chess program, Renaissance Knights Chess Foundation, Kasparov Chess Foundation, and sponsorship from the SBB Research Group.
