The Junior Utes Chess Camp took place from July 26th to the 29th at the University of Utah. It was a very instructive, fun week and some great chess was played. The instructors would like to thank the students and their parents for their participation and a great four days. Thanks also to International Master Jacek Stopa, who gave a simul and lecture during his special appearance at the camp.
