State Chess Tournament


TJ just competed in the state chess tournament for 1st graders....and won 14th place! Not bad, I say, for just starting this year. His school placed 11th overall in the state, and TJ and the rest of his team were honored at a school assembly last week.

It's almost a good thing he didn't place better, because his trophy wouldn't have fit on his shelf....it would be almost taller than him! We are very pleased at how well he did.

Nice gold trophy! I bet you are really good at chess! If you get better and play that thing again, you may be first! Where did you put your trophy? Justin.
