2022 Florida State Scholastic Championship

Florida is known as the “sunshine state,” but the past few weeks have been uncharacteristically chilly with north Florida temperatures dipping down in the 20s. However, there are signs that things are warming up and chess is going to help. As the effects of the COVID pandemic begins to subside, chess will hopefully return to normal in 2022.

The Wyndham Orlando Resort has been host to many of Florida’s chess tournaments and of course, is centrally located in the state. Bryan Tillis, a board member of the Florida Chess Association, is the organizer. He can be reached at byran@floridachess.org. Bring your crew… register at chessregister.com!
