Tournament Results and Upcoming Tournaments in Bothell!

Over the break Frank Love students attended two different chess tournaments.  The first was on President’s day in Redmond.  Aidan, Andy, Austin, Cooper, Drew, Hayden, Kenney, Rohan, Roshan and Vanessa all competed.  The was Aidan’s first time ever competing in a chess tournament.  Hayden got 3 points and qualified for the state tournament!  He won 5^th place in his division.  Curtis also got 3 points and re-qualified for the state tournament.  Rohan got 3.5 and won 5^th place in his division.  Roshan got 4 points and won 3^rd place in his division.  The combined team score earned Frank Love a second place team trophy!  Congratulations!

 

 

 

 

The second tournament was on Saturday February 23^rd in Shoreline.  Austin, Curtis, Elliott, Jack, Kenney and Seth all competed.  This was the first tournament ever for Jack, Elliott and Seth.   Elliott won a participation medal.  Jack won a kindergarten trophy with 1.5 points.  Seth won 10^th place for 4^th grade.  Austin earned 3 points.  He qualified for state and he won 8^th place for 1^st grade!   Kenney won 3^rd place for 5^th grade.  Curtis won 1^st place for 3^rd grade.  I’m so proud of all of them!

 

Unfortunately we didn’t have enough players to be considered a team at the Shoreline tournament.  They took the top 4 for grades 1-3 and the top 4 for 4-6.  Hopefully this weekend at Heritage Christian we’ll have enough for a chance at a team trophy or two ;).
