The Tournament Program offers 30+ chess tournaments throughout the academic year, each of which draws between 400 and 600 players from kindergarten through high school.   Chess & Kids organizes and directs all the tournaments including registering participants, providing supplies, preparing the venue, organizing competition, scoring, oversight, and presenting awards.  Many of our students say that competition is their favorite part of our programs. It gives them an opportunity to test and showcase their skills in front of teachers, peers, and parents.
