(November 20, 2008)—A half-dozen Princeton University students faced off over chess boards Wednesday against 46 inmates at New Jersey State Prison.

The prison’s chess club has 75 members including Kelvin Washington, who’s doing a 50-year sentence for robbery.

He took on Princeton sophomore David Wang, who won the match.

No matter.

Washington says playing chess gives him a break from the prison monotony.
