Last December, the UT Dallas chess team qualified to compete in the 2020 President’s Cup, also known as the Final Four of College Chess, by placing fourth in the Pan-American Intercollegiate Team Chess Championship.
Chess team member Eylon Nakar BS’20 earned his degree in actuarial science this spring and was disappointed in how the season concluded.
After a promising start to the spring semester, the UT Dallas debate team also experienced a sudden end to its season.
The two major debate tournaments, the National Debate Tournament (NDT) and the Cross Examination Debate Association (CEDA) National Championship Tournament were canceled.
But because available online chess programs can be hidden, giving a player an unfair advantage, the obstacles of moving chess events online and avoiding cheating are particularly challenging.
