WOW!  43 enrolled students in the first two weeks of Chess Club!

Exciting year. 

First we have the EICL!  Eastern Iowa Chess League!  Our First Match will be against Prairie Elementary in Cedar Rapids, more details to follow.

At the end of this month there is a big Team Tournament on September 28th in Omaha Nebraska.  I have two kids going (my own) to represent Borlaug, however we need four children to make a team.  If you are interested please contact me as we have to register the four children together as a team to participate.

and here is the roster, Yulong Shao defeated Barry Vigil to claim the top spot.  They will be gunning for you Yulong so watch out.  and here is the rest of the results, now is the time of the year when people are added to the ladder at the bottom so soon the abilities will sort themselves out.  So anyone can play anyone this week.
