The Chess Club is a new club that anyone can join.  It was founded by Leon Shepkaru, a Senior at North. “I founded the club to create a community with activities people can access during the pandemic, because the tournaments were online…we also want to educate students and spread the game to anyone that’s interested.” Now that school is back in person, the chess club has decided to do tournaments for charity. “We want to raise money for the food bank and [the] Kasparov foundation to serve the community.” The Chess Club has semi-regular tournaments, if you have any questions feel free to ask Leon about when the next tournament is.
