♟️ Checkmate!
Eight cadets put their skills to the test last weekend during a chess tournament organized by instructors Alex and Brynn Welch.
After some competitive matches, Cadet Phan claimed first place, with Cadet Cui finishing second! Both walked away with bragging rights, and some well-earned snacks. 🏆
Congratulations to all cadets who competed, and thank you to our instructors for creating another opportunity for cadets to challenge themselves and enjoy a little friendly competition outside the classroom!
