COOK COUNTY, IL Seven people in custody at the Cook County Jail represented the United States in an international chess tournament against inmates from Armenia, Spain and Russia Tuesday morning.
The competition was played round robin style online with six matches total. After hours of competing, beginning at 8:30 a.m., the team from Russia won with three matches, while the U.S. took two. Chess is more than an entertaining past time, the game teaches its players valuable life lessons, said Sheriff Thomas J. Dart. It requires these men to practice critical thinking and consider the risks and rewards of their decisions, which are valuable skills they can take with them when they return to their communities.
