Welcome!

Sixteen kids and five parent coaches started off the new chess year at Frank Love today.  We saw many familiar faces, including a 7th grader who returned and asked to help every week.  Our team is coming off a successful year that started late but finished strong.  We finished 7th overall at the Sheltonview Elementary Chess tournament held at Lockwood Elementary.  Three kids qualified for the WA State Elementary Chess Championships in Spokane, with one earning a medal for three wins at State!

We start this year with the following team goals:

• Have fun and be respectful to one another
• Learn to play chess better
• Finish as a team higher than 7th place in a tournament
