Room 230

Everyone is welcome in the Chess Club regardless of skill level and ability. Some players are brand new to learning the game, others are experienced players with advanced skills. There are no boys or girls divisions, we all play on the same boards. If you play competitive chess, your opponent is based on your chess rating; not your gender, size or age. There is a specific Girl's State Championship event, as well as the Maine Individual State Championship which is open to all players.

There are no "try outs" or qualifying events for the Chess Club or the Red Riots Chess Team. Anyone who wants to play can stop by Room 230 after school on Thursdays and join in. Students are welcome to bring a friend or come make a new one.

SPHS is the defending Maine state champion in the Scholastic Grand Prix of Chess League. Students who play on the SPHS competitive team will receive a FREE US Chess Federation and Maine Chess Association membership. Those players will be nationally ranked after competing in 6 USCF sanctioned matches. The 4th Annual SPHS chess tournament will be held in the school cafeteria on Saturday, November 9th, 2024.

Please email Mr Doughty or Mr. Cimato for more information and visit the following link for more about the SGP chess league and other competitions open to SPHS players.
