Cornell Chess Club

Happy Holidays everyone! Pictured below is our outreach team having a team dinner and seeing off GM Jan-Christian Schroeder, who will soon be returning to Germany.

This past weekend, our chess outreach team hosted the 1st Ithaca Scholastic Tournament at Boynton Middle School! The tournament was attended by 30 K-12 students of many nearby schools. Thank you to everyone who attended and special thanks to Boynton Middle School for graciously providing the venue space. We look forward to continuing to inspire interest in chess and encourage a love for the game in all nearby communities! :)

Hey yall! Chess Club is excited to again be hosting a simultaneous exhibition with FM Adarsh Jayakumar as part of Cornell's Welcome Weekend! Adarsh will be playing 15 people at a time with players rotating in as games finish. Come by Willard Straight Hall tonight (Friday, 8/25) from 8-12 to play. Any winners will receive a $50 Cornell Store gift card!! During Welcome Weekend there will be other events including Laser Tag, Pickleball, Photobooths, and way more in Denise Cassaro's TGIF email.
