A sunny day and a set of enthusiastic participants gave the tournament tons of energy and excitement. Even the youngest participants showed grit and discipline by taking their time to make moves and calculating complex chess positions. Many games went down to the wire with just a few seconds left on the clock for both players. Every player deserves a huge round of applause for putting their best effort and showing great sportsmanship.
Thank you to all the parents for spending the weekend with us and supporting over-the-board chess in our community. Tournament ratings and full crosstables can be found here
