Celebrate National Chess Day in Style by Playing in the Rochester Scholastic Chess Tournament (Gr. K-8) on Saturday, October 14!
Let’s Play Chess!
Celebrate National Chess Day by participating in the largest youth chess tournament in Rochester. Students can expect a supportive environment with instruction from experienced chess players and high school role models. Students will be paired with others of similar skill level, and they do not need previous experience participating in a chess event. This opportunity is presented in partnership by Rochester Chess and Rochester Community Education.
All Experience Levels Welcome
Any student in grades K-8 may participate. Participants will play in one of three divisions.
- Beginner (Grades K-2): Afternoon only. If you understand how to move the pieces, you are ready to have fun and play chess with other kids.
- Novice (Grades 3-8): Students will be paired with students of a similar skill level. This division may be a good fit for students who have not previously competed in a chess event.
- Advanced (Grades K-8): Tournament results will be rated by the United States Chess Federation (USCF). A USCF membership is required and can be purchased on their website for $20. Players in the Advanced section will be required to record their moves. Scholarships for USCF memberships are available. Contact Dennis Mays for more information: dennismays101@gmail.com
