This just in — the Texas Tech Knight Raiders won their second consecutive President’s Cup in the collegiate chess “Final Four,” played over the weekend in Herndon.
The University of Maryland – Baltimore County, a multiple winner of the event, came up just short, tying for second with archrival University of Texas-Dallas, a half-point behind the winners.
New York University finished fourth. Defense contractor Booz Allen Hamilton was once again the sponsor and host for the team tournament.
The multinational champs were anchored by German GM Georg Meier, a freshman finance major, on top board, and boasted a roster that included players from Iran, Israel, Hungary and Brazil. We’ll have details and some action from the tournament in the coming weeks.

It’s unfair that SPICE can recruit so many good players. They should give some of these players to other teams to even the field.
