It s a sport that requires a lot of skill and precision.
And while almost anyone can play chess, it takes a lot of practice to win championships, according to members of The University of Texas – Rio Grande Valley’s Chess Team.
The team has won three consecutive national championships, and members know a lot about hard work. They’ve even won an intercontinental match through the challenges of a pandemic. Many people struggled with motivation because of the pandemic so it wasn t easy for us,” UTRGV Chess Team member Kamil Dragun said. “So this result was a very nice surprise for us and we re very happy about it.”
