This past weekend, fifth grader Jack H. represented Skinner North at SuperNationals IV, which set the record for the largest, rated chess tournament in the world. More than 5,500 students--including 70 students from Chicago Public Schools--represented their schools in more than 25 different sections!
Jack played 7 games--some as long as 3 hours--and earned 5 1/2 out of a possible 7 points. He was part of a large tie for 12th place. Due to tie breaks, Jack ended up earning a 36th place trophy out of his section of 484 students, in grades K-12th grade (Under 1600 rated)! Congrats, Jack!
Chess is a lot of fun and almost 50 Skinner North students have participated with our team this school year. We hope your child will consider joining us next year. We have a free all girls chess workshop scheduled at 3:45pm on May 31st. We have room for up to 30 girls. Both experienced chess players and beginners who have never played are welcome. It's not too early for boys and girls to consider joining our chess team next year. Just send an email to skinnernorthchess@gmail.com and we will register your daughter for the May 31stworkshop and/or add you to our email list for upcoming chess team news and events.
