On March 6th, 2022, Maggie Walker hosted the Winter Scholastic Chess Tournament. Over 100 players attended the tournament. A great thanks go out to all of the volunteers who helped make this tournament possible. The school’s tournament director and organizer was Arjun Azhagappan (’24-Chesterfield).
Risshi Naavaal (’24-Henrico), Shorya Malani (’24-Henrico), and Eric Hu (’24-Henrico) ran the concession stand enabling us to raise funds for the club!
