Today our Chess Society played against the largest club in Norway for a chance to promote to the 3rd division in the Norwegian Chess League. We were underdogs and lower rated in each table. However, our players were glowing with big brain energy and managed to win 3 1/2 - 1/2. Which means that we will play in the 3rd division this upcoming season 🥇

On a another note, we are now recruiting. Please send a message to this page, if you are interested in joining our society 🧠

Last Sunday we played a match against the University of Oslo. Our first seed team had a crushing victory 12,5 - 3,5. Unfortunately, our 2, 3 and 4. seed lost. The total score was 30,5 - 46,5. This was a really exciting match and a wonderful experience, especially for our new members. Most importantly it was really fun! We are already looking forward to the next time 🤩♟

We had a competition at our stand on Recruitment Day last week. There were many people that joined our games and scored really high. However, the player that scored the highest and won the lottery afterward were Oskar Bjørkum. Congratulations on winning the first prize!
