Central NM Team Chess League

The Central New Mexico Team Chess League kicked off it's initial team chess tournaments in the Fall of 2012 with three regional tournaments around Central NM and then a final meet in the Spring of 2013 at UNM in the Student Union Building. 

This year, we are excited to add two new regions: the Rio Grande Valley Region and also a regional for the SAFE After School Program chess clubs that we will be running in RRPS Elementary schools this 2015-2016 school year.
