While I was conducting the Chess Coach Certification Course in Brownsville, TX this weekend, the Buc Commission and the Susan Polgar South Texas Chess Center in Corpus Christi, TX hosted the first annual Susan Polgar Buc Days Giant Chess Challenge. The winning team received $1,000! This is expected to increase to $5,000 next year. Big thanks to the Buc Commission and the SPSTCC for sponsoring and organizing this event!

Fantastic! $1,000 to 1st place? Great!
What does “buc days” mean?
Buc Days is short for Buccaneer Days….it’s a local festival that raises money for scholarships.
