Join us for our Hart House Chess Club Rapid Championship and Raffle fundraising tournament!
Open to all, this 2-section tournament offers a fun and competitive way to play chess while supporting the Club’s fundraising efforts. In addition to improving club equipment, this year’s fundraising will go towards hosting the Ivy League Challenge, sending teams to tournaments abroad (PanAms and CUCC) and special social events involving titled players.
All community members, non-participants included, are encouraged to participate in the Raffle to help support the fundraising efforts.
