The Littleton Public Schools chess tournament was held on Saturday, December 11, 2021 at Newton Middle School. There were 152 players in Grades K–8, which meant 76 simultaneous games in all five rounds of the non-elimination tournament.

A huge thank you to Newton for the use of their facility, all the GT and NMS staff who worked to keep things running smoothly, and to Jeanne Hildreth, who was instrumental in making the tournament happen. 

It was a great day! (Results below photos)
