The College’s Chess Club competed in the first in-person competition that the club has attended since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. For many club members, this was their first in-person chess tournament and their first rated competition.
This past weekend, seven of the College’s fall varsity teams — men’s and women’s soccer, volleyball, football, field hockey, men’s and women’s cross country — and two of the College’s club ultimate frisbee teams all competed at home.
