On Dec 9, we held our first Cops & Kids City-Wide Chess Tournament. It was amazing! Congratulations to all the students and police officers that participated in this event. C&K is a dynamic partnership between CPS, CPD and Renaissance Knights that uses Chess as a vehicle to engage and foster relationships between police officers and students.
Congratulations to all the winners and players who came out to play in our first tournament of the season. We had 221 players from 33 schools many of them playing in their first competitive tournament.
Our winter Chess 4 Kidz! classes are open for registration. Classes sizes are limited, so register now before there is no more room.
