Girls state Chess Championship

Girls State Chess Championship!

Teresa Knecht won the title, Teresa lives close to Borlaug and well, she would have gone to Borlaug if Borlaug elementary had existed when she was in elementary school, hence I will claim her as our own.

and our very own Alexandra Curtu won best under 200!

she was unrated prior to the tournament, so she won not only the unrated section but the U200 section but since we can only give her one trophy she got the higher.

here is the ladder for last week.

Prairie Chess Round 1

We did pretty good the first round of the Prairie Chess Series. Nathan Wei won third overall in the K-5 Section. Eddy Xu won 1st place under 400 in the K-2 section. It was Eddy's first tournament. I love the face of a kid winning their first chess trophy!

In the Team Section, although I have not seen the official results I think we are second in K-5 but 4th or 5th in the K-2 Section, However the K-2 section was under represented as only 10 kids showed up and we could ROCK the section by showing up in force.
