Students from eight school districts and twelve area communities including Eagle Lake, Fairfax, Gaylord, Good Thunder, Henderson, Mapleton, Owatonna, St. James, St. Peter, Waseca, Winthrop, and Mankato competed at the tournament. Students enjoyed a day of practice and competition—it was a day to celebrate students and the game of chess.
