As many of you know, Larry has been the chess coach at the kids' elementary school since October. A couple weeks ago, about 15 of the students went to a regional open chess tournament. It was basically an all-day event with each kid playing 5 games up to an hour long each. Miranda even got to use one of the fancy clocks when her game was taking too long. All the kids (and Larry) came home SO excited.
Derek got second place in the K-2 division. He had 3 wins and 2 stalemates. Larry told me that Spencer was in 6th place for his divison for a while, but then lost (he had 2 wins, 2 losses, and a stalemate). Larry said that he even got 2 queens in a game.
There were about 150? kids there from local Hillsboro elementary schools.
