From backcountry Greenwich to the upper echelon of the competitive chess world, the Whitby School chess team has done it again, placing second amongst fourth grade teams at the National K-12 Grade Championship in Orlando, Fla.
Whitby sent nine players to compete with six comprising the fourth grade team. The team was led by Max Lu, who was recently named the youngest U.S. chess master in October, and scored a perfect seven points en route to becoming the individual fourth grade national champion.
