The chess team traveled to New York City in April for its 15th appearance at the President’s Cup competition, considered the Final Four of collegiate chess. UT Dallas finished fourth behind Webster, Texas Tech and St. Louis universities.
“As expected, it was a very tough tournament,” chess coach Rade Milovanovic said. “We were unlucky with our draw since our top two boards had to face significantly higher opponents with black pieces four out of six times. Our players fought hard; just the slimmest margin decided the final result.”
