University of California Santa Barbara Chess Club plus Friends hosted a friendly online team match with our Bright Knights Junior Chess Team on Saturday, November 7, 2020 via Chess.com. The Bright Knight Junior Chess Team is a program for youth to experience team play and it arranges friendly online exhibition matches with other youth chess clubs across the states. UCSB Chess Club hosted this event to prepare our young participants to get acquainted with online team play. The event consisted of 15 minutes team introductions on Zoom, two matches on Chess.com, and a virtual handshake on Zoom at the conclusion of the event in which participants thanked their opponents.
