The US Amateur Team North chess competition (abbreviated USAT North) is an annual team tournament held in the Hyatt Regency Schaumburg Hotel in Chicago, Illinois. Unlike Pan Ams, USAT North is open to people of all ages, making for some interesting matchups. This year, it was held from February 16th to 18th.
The WashU Chess Club sent two teams of four to USAT North this time and had an absolute blast. Thanks to Chess Weekend and the US Chess Federation for organizing this event!
