Thanks to Greg Gage at BlackCat Comics for this photo
The University Chess Club at the University of Utah Chess Team was the top College/Scholastic team again at the 2009 Utah State Team Tournament for the 3rd year in a row! The team was composed of a University of Utah Student, a Utah Valley State University student, the son of a University of Utah professor who goes to Hawthorne Elementary School and one of the Advisers at the University Chess Club. This team's players faced in most of the match games players rated higher, and players who had the White pieces 67% of the time. Yet the U of U team was able to overcome this and played the team in the final round that won the overall team tournament. The U of U team had a chance to tie for 1st in this team tournament and almost did! This award was won because of team play by players for the University Chess Club at the University of Utah.
