| For the sixth consecutive year, Miami-Dade College continues to be the only community college team to make it to the National Final Four Chess Tournament, the nation’s top collegiate chess competition. Up against big dogs like New York University, University of Texas and University of Maryland, this rag-to-riches team has no problem making them sweat under the spotlight. During the play-off tournament that determines the standing final four, the modest but fierce MDC team crushed their University of Texas opponent in the last round, making MDC more than qualified to compete as one of the final four. Three weeks later, the last leg of this national tournament took place Friday, April 4th in Baltimore County, Maryland. MDC trampled opponents to come out close to the top. Since the team’s inception in 2002, MDC has won multiple national honors including being dubbed by the U.S. Chess Federation the 2004 Chess College of the Year. MDC received that award over 120 other schools across the nation. The team is very proud of its success and will continue to practice and recruit new talent for next year’s competition. This new museum will be a great hangout spot with it’s large café, lecture hall, and museum shop. Nothing like caffeine and culture. \S. Nelson\MDC Student\ |
