U.S. Chess Center

Last month's DC Area-Wide Scholastic Tournament was a huge success. Nearly 200 students representing more than 100 schools registered for the event. Not only were DC, Maryland, and Virginia represented, nine students from Berkeley Springs, West Virginia, made the trek to compete. Berkeley Springs High School won the trophy for the top high school. Georgetown Day School in the District of Columbia was the top middle school, and Churchill Road Elementary School in McLean, Virginia, took top elementary school honors. We expect this to become an annual event.
