🏆 VCS Friday Quads (In Person)
Why Encourage Your Child to Join Chess Tournaments?
Tournament participation is an essential part of chess education.
We encourage players of all levels, including beginners, to sharpen their skills by competing regularly:
- Tournaments are organized by player ratings to ensure fair matchups.
- Participation builds resilience, sportsmanship, and character.
- Success is measured by growth, not just results.
- Player's parents are free to join, but their results will not be submitted for CFC rating (i.e., they play as unrated guests).

- ✅ Play against carefully matched opponents at your level
