Fun, sportsmanship and epic queen battles are the order of the day at Vermont Chess’ 19th annual fall tournament. Young players of all experience levels in kindergarten through 12th grade ready their castling fingers to vie for the top trophies during a day of friendly face-offs. Players are grouped by age, and everyone plays four rounds — that is, no one is eliminated but instead gets paired off in later rounds with someone with a similar score. Supportive spectators are allowed but must stay silent.
