Members of the Texas Tech Knight Raiders Chess Team had a busy morning. They started out with a team photo session at the main entrance to the university. After that, they were honored by the Texas Tech Board of Regents at their meeting. Right after the ceremony, they immediately headed to the Texas Tech Chess Park to film a commercial to promote Texas Tech University. Later on tonight, team captain GM Davorin Kuljasevic will receive his MBA in Finance!

As some of the Knight Raiders will graduate and move on, at least three additional Grandmasters, one International Master, and two Woman International Masters are planning to come to Texas Tech in the Fall of 2011. The SPICE program will have more than 20 students next year, ranging from Freshmen to PhD students. As a group, the Knight Raiders compiled an average GPA of about 3.4.
