MADISON – Madison City Chess League entered 52 members in the National K-12 Chess Championship at Gaylord Opryland Hotel in Nashville, Tenn. on Dec. 16-18.
“This meet was, without a doubt, the most challenging national scholastic tournament in which students compete against the best in the country in grade-level specific sections over seven rounds that span three days,” Ranae Bartlett said. Bartlett serves as Executive Director of Madison City Chess League.
Each game can last around three hours if players on both sides use their full allotment of time. Madison was able to send full teams from Rainbow elementary, Discovery and Liberty middle and Bob Jones high schools.
