Charlotte Chess Center Friday Pizza Quads - North

Friday Pizza Quads - North

A three round US Chess-rated tournament open to all scholastic (K-12) players. Quads, which group students in sections of 4 by their rating level, are a great way for students to get closer matchups for a more fun and competitive challenge. The best part is that it comes with dinner, pizza!

During the Fall and Spring seasons, this event does count for eligibility towards the Tournament of Champions.
