To mark the occasion and to reward the students, parents and staff for a productive season, Chess Corps treated its members to a delightful performance by a talented violinist from the New England Conservatory. The year-end party featured an afternoon of new and challenging chess activities with a special emphasis on teamwork and cooperation, including "Musical Chess" and "Relay Chess", created by Chess Corps Chairman, Eric Cushing.
