MLWGS Chess Team Tournament Results

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!

Congratulations to the players of the Maggie Walker Chess Team who played in the tournament: KJ Dowling (’23-Richmond), Samuel Sneddon(’23-Richmond), and Charles MacKay (’23-Henrico). They won the 2nd place team trophy for the school. Additionally, KJ won third place in the K-12 rated section!
