  Ms. TLAIB. Mr. Speaker, today, I want to offer a heartfelt 
congratulations to the members of Detroit Renaissance High School's 
Chess Team on their first-place victory in the Under 800 category at 
the U.S. Chess Federation's K-12 National Championship.
  For four grueling days, the team competed in high-stakes chess 
matches against teams from all across the country. Their victory is 
testament to long hours of practice and championship focus and 
determination. The team employed critical thinking and mastery of 
strategy, besting more than sixty other teams. This victory is 
Renaissance High School's first chess national championship.
  Please join me in recognizing the Renaissance High School Chess Team 
for this outstanding accomplishment. Congratulations.

                          ____________________
