Ecole Saint-Joseph Franco Chess Tournament Returning After 3 Years Without

Young chess masters will be gathering in Wawa later this week.

Wawa's École Saint-Joseph is preparing for its seventh annual Franco chess tournament, and - while this is the first since 2019, due to the COVID-19 pandemic - teacher/organizer René-Guy Nobert says it will be a mix of past participants and new from local schools and across the northeast.

The chess players will be divided into four categories: grades three and four; five and six; seven and eight; and secondary school.

The tournament will be held Thursday, May 18th.
