The NAHS Chess Club has just been under construction. With a new chess coach and new president, it allows our club to work with a new angle.

Our team name, "8 Squared", created by co-captain, Alex Schultz, has sparked many different minds as to its meaning. One being that "8 time 8" (or 8 squared) gives you 64; which makes up the amount of squares on a chess board. The view that the team was going for that if you rotate the the number 8, you get the infinity sign (∞); this represents endless (or infinite) possibilities.

Our Mission Statement

In a game of chess, there are risk; even when taking that first move. However, like life, with great risk comes the possibility of great reward.

We’re here to give you the fundamentals of life on 64 little squares and 32 pieces.

Here at “8 Squared”, we hope to teach you that, like a game of chess, there are endless possibilities in life.
