PS 130 Wins Brooklyn Cup # 5!

Our Brooklyn Cup 5 was an exciting event where our Brooklyn chess community came together in one tournament and played 3 fierce, but friendly matches with a common goal: securing the Brooklyn Cup trophy for their school.

With 83 players representing 6 programs and different schools across 6 grade sections, and almost every team being represented on the podium, our Brooklyn Cup 5 was an event we will always remember.

Our day started with an opening ceremony and tips from our coaches. Players then played their matches, updated their results, reviewed the games with a coach, and enjoyed support from teammates throughout the entire day. After 3 exciting rounds, our day concluded with an award ceremony that celebrated the well deserved success of many students from across the different schools within the ICN network!
