‼️Updates from the Community

The first Chess Against Cancer tournament wrapped up. You helped raise $105 for pediatric cancer research.

The event is now named the Simmon Chang Chess Against Cancer Club. Simmon Chang was a young student who passed away from osteosarcoma, and his family kindly allowed us to honour him through this work.

Our next CFC-rated Weiss Open happens on December 28. It’s a Swiss-style tournament and everyone is welcome.
