BISNY Chess Tournament Report and Photo Gallery (Nov. 13, 2011)

The 2011 British International Chess Tournament was a great experience for young, talented and motivated chess players from schools all across the New York area.

Students from schools in New York City and Queens participated, these included:  The Hewitt School, All Souls, Anderson, Hunter College High School, P.S. 116, Dalton, Garden School, P.S. I.S. 499.

It was a great opportunity for these young players to play chess and socialize with students outside their school’s circle.  Congratulations to all of the chess players!
