Bright Knights Chess Club: free event for SF kids

When Vincent Ng and his teammates from Balboa High School went to chess competitions back in the late '90s, they noticed there were very few competitors from San Francisco. Determined to change that, Ng and his fellow students founded the Bright Knights Chess Club to bring the joy of chess to kids in San Francisco.

On Saturday, the Bright Knights will sponsor the latest in a series of tournaments aimed at kids ages 6 to 18 at the Richmond branch of the San Francisco Public Library.

Split into two sections - one for kids who are members of the U.S. Chess Federation and an open section for beginners, novices and advanced players - the competition allows even entry-level players to gain experience playing each other.
