Round 2 done, Round three ready for next week.

OK, action packed morning.  Peter Adams defended board 1 and defeated Dominic Rutkowski.  His brother Sebastian fell on Board 2 to Joseph Vigil in what was a bad morning to be a Rutkowski.  Sam Callahan and Arun Dixut also remained undefeated to set up next weeks pairings for boards 1 and 2.

The Kerns's fought to a brother sister love fest and tied.  Carter Philips rebounded from last weeks defeat.

We had a new student join and Barry spent his time teaching Miley the rules.

On May 3rd there will be a tournament at Longfellow Elementary all day Saturday, and it is FREE!  No USCF membership required, it will be very similar to the Weber tournament.  (in fact you may recognize the chess sets!)

End of year Tournament

We started a tournament that will run to the end of the year to crown a Weber Chess Champion. 
We are using standard swiss pairings, this gives a chance for students to be assigned other students to play in a more structured format.
please have the students arrive by 7:45, if they do not show up by that time, I will pair a different student, and I will start their clock. 

Results from week 1 Peter Adams took a commanding lead on Board 1 and Sam Callahan upset 2nd seated Carter Philips in a tough match.
