We hosted our first ever Skinner North Chess tournament on Saturday. It included 29 of the 45 kids who have already indicated they want to be part of this year's chess team and 9 other Skinner North students who we hope will join our team too. We had many new players (and one new tournament director, Mr. Heller) participating in their first ever tournament with our team. That's 19 kids in their first chess tournaments!
Jack H won the first place trophy with a perfect 5.0 score. Six players tied for 2nd with scores of 4.0. Based on standard tiebreakers, Andy C won 2nd place, Mitchell A won 3rd place, Leon C won 4th place and Niccolo L won the 5th place trophy. Congratulations to all our trophy winners on their hard won victories! Leo H finished 6th and collected a medal as did Mark S who finished 7th. Our two medal winners have both only been Skinner North students for less than 2 weeks. What a great beginning for our Chess Team!
Thank you to our coaches, Mr. Heller and Ms. Cox, as well Ms. Spicer for being here that day and encouraging our student interests!
