The Cardinal O'Hara Chess Club, like many clubs, is alot of fun. Their motto is "Be a thinker, not a stinker." The club meets every Thursday in the Library or room 213. In addition to club meetings, players may participate in the Annual Chess Tournament in February, and join the Chess Team versus other schools, one Thursday per month.
Select your interest level and sign up if you are consistently able to attend meetings and play, at least 1-2 times per month!
COHS Chess Tournament
The Cardinal O'Hara Chess Tournament is open to all Chess Club members, and from there, an invitation-only format, based on need and interest. The tournament is single-elimination, complete with player rankings, narative write-ups, match-ups, and analysis. The tournament will be held after school and during study hall, February through March. Participants must be available to play their games as the schedule dictates. Guidelines for the tournament may be downloaded here.

The COHS Chess Team had plenty of fun last season, "on the road." The team consists of 5-10 players, based on availability, not skill. There are no practices or requirements, other than attendance at each meet. The team travels to other Western New York Schools once per month for meets, on a Thursday, from 3:30pm - 6:00pm. Rides to each meet from COHS will be provided. Each player is guaranteed at least one game (play two matches) during the matches.
