Well, with the snow day last week, we did not have chess club, however lots of chess was going on!
Congradulations to Ziwen Zhou who will be our Iowa Representative to the Barber Chess Tournament at the US Open in Madison Wisconsin, Ziwen is in 6th grade and chose to finish his scholastic career at Weber Elementary, best wishes and I know he will do Iowa Proud.
Barry Vigil went to the LeatherJackets tournament in Cedar Rapids and tied for best under 1100 player, but lost on tiebreakers, he walked away with $5 as three other players were tied with him.
Two weeks ago Yulong had dibs on playing Barry for the top spot on the ladder and was defeated. Who will dethrone Barry on Wednesday?
The two most important tournaments are coming up in the next two Saturdays! First is the Iowa Elementary Team Champoinship hopefully this will get a link to it. I will have flyers to send home with kids on Wed, and post one in the school office. We have a really good chance of winning this.

The other is the following week on Feb 16th Number 2 in the Prairie Chess Series. Currently we are in second place. The way the team points are calculated is that every point scored by the team goes to the teams total. Sooooo the more players we have, the better chances we have in winning. We did extremely well with the players who came, and just a few points away from gold!
