SUNRISE, Fla. — Dozens of young chess players packed into the Sunrise Multipurpose Center early Saturday for the 12th annual “Mayor’s Chess Challenge.”
The annual event, hosted by the city of Sunrise, brought together children of all ages for a morning of competition, strategy and learning.
Organizers say the tournament continues to grow each year, drawing young players eager to test their skills across the chessboard.
Sot from Sunrise Mayor Mike Ryan:
The Mayor’s Chess Challenge gives children an opportunity to put those skills into practice while connecting with other young players in the community.
And for many of the participants, the early morning start was well worth it for a chance to make their next move.
