ChessMaine: MLK Day Chess Tournament at Lincolnville Central School

02.18.2024 On Jan 15, 2024 Lincolnville Central School hosted the biggest-ever MLK Day Chess Tournament with the help of parents and chess coaches. We had 70 contestants: 54 boys, 16 girls and a whopping 12 kids in K/1! (The old record was 4!) It was a fun tournament designed to get lots of games in between 9 AM & noon. While it may have seemed chaotic at times, we tried to keep the time between games to a minimum. Most kids played at least eight games while some played fourteen to eighteen!

Players in the K-1 section of the MLK Day Chess Tournament at Lincolnville Central School celebrate at the prizegiving ceremony.
