Chess Queens of New York

Kudos to the chess queens of Success Academy, who last weekend won their first national championship in a Chicago tournament.

They not only won, they beat out the young women of another city public school — Stuyvesant HS, traditionally a juggernaut.

The Success network’s under-12 girls’ squad triumphed, too, scoring a co-championship. And Success sixth-grader Nura Baalla won the individual under-12 girls’ trophy.

Her mom told The Post that Nura likely never would’ve taken up the game if she hadn’t won the lottery to attend Success, which teaches the game to all kids in grades K-2.

Meanwhile, on Tuesday morning Mayor de Blasio tweeted out a chess cheer to . . . the Edward R. Murrow HS team, which is competing in the unisex national championships this coming weekend.

He wished “our hometown heroes good luck” — and we do the same; we’ve cheered Murrow’s chess success several times.

Yet Success kids are also New York City public-school students. So we asked City Hall if another tweet might be coming to honor Success’ young “wonder women.”

And, lo, late Tuesday the mayor did send his congrats — to Success, Stuyvesant and young Nura. We believe that’s first nice thing he’s had to say about a network of schools whose mainly minority scholars regularly rack up the best test scores in the entire state.

Count it as another win for the girls.
