Apparently playing chess is all about strategy. Having never held on to both my horsies more than three moves into the game, that's something I've never really understood. But believe it or not, there are enough people out there who do understand, to not only form a club at Columbia, but to host an inter-school chess tournament with other Ivy League schools. And though supposedly great at strategerizing or whatever, apparently not enough so to check when the other chess clubs are also hosting their inter-school chess tournaments (is one seriously not enough?).
Apparently both Columbia and Princeton scheduled their tournaments for the exact same weekend and our boring friends in Jersey only realized their mistake when they received the invitation from Columbia's club. Oops! In the end, everyone signed up for ours and Princeton is apparently having a very lonely, sad time in Jersey (what else is new). If you're interested, check out the schedule after the jump.
