Chess at the Cloisters

Students from 54 New York City high schools recently competed in an all-day chess tournament at The Cloisters Museum and Gardens, the branch of The Metropolitan Museum of Art for medieval art and architecture, located in Fort Tryon Park in northern Manhattan.

The top 10 students played using replicas of the world-famous Lewis Chessmen, a group of 34 medieval chess pieces on loan to the Cloisters from the British Museum for the exhibition, “The Game of Kings: Medieval Ivory Chessmen from the Isle of Lewis,” on view through April 22, 2012. The tournament was organized by Chess-in-the-Schools, a nonprofit educational organization dedicated to improving academic performance and building self-esteem among inner-city public school children. #
