Mizzou Chess earned top honors at the President’s Cup, known as the College Chess Final Four, adding another prestigious win to their record.

This is Mizzou’s second consecutive trip to the tournament. The competition was hosted by the University of Texas at Dallas, and MU competed against players from UT Dallas, UT Rio Grande Valley and Webster University. I’m proud our Tigers could end their successful season with a great victory.

Congratulations to team members Mikhail Antipov, Grigory Oparin, Luka Budisavljević and Harshit Raja, as well as Head Coach & Program Director Cristian Chirila. I also want to acknowledge Curator Jeanne Cairns Sinquefield and Rex Sinquefield for their incredible commitment to the MU Chess Team.

We’ve secured our spot as the best chess program in the country.
