Chess Team

The Chess Team is comprised of ~15 players (Freshmen – Seniors), where the top 8 (with substitutes) will compete in a number of 1-1 school vs. school after-school meets and several Saturday multi-school tournaments, beginning in October 2022 and continuing through January 2023. The chess season then culminates at the IHSA State Chess Championship in Peoria on February 10-11, 2023. We welcome students of all levels and even those who merely wish to play chess for fun but not compete. We anticipate that practices will start ~mid-September.  Students interested in playing chess at Benet should listen/watch for upcoming announcements in September and throughout the chess season. Hope to see you there!

Meetings: 2x per week after school (~3:00-5:00 p.m.)

Communication: Announcements and ‘The Latest News from Benet Academy’ weekly emails
