Reese Takes First! Magellan Edges Out Mill Valley

Congratulations to Mill Valley fourth grader's Gregory Reese, Jr., who took ALL 6 GAMES in the K-6 division, again (!!) for the Mill Valley Knights. Gregory had some very tough matchups, and had to face Christian Krueger, Brian Dennis and Charlie Burton. Way to go, Greg!!!

In a very close tournament, Mill Valley JUST got edged out by the powerful Magellan Day Schoolers, 17.5 to 17.0... We did very well, and took second place! Besides Greg at 6-0, we had Chris Tillson at 4-2, third-grader Jorin McGuire at 4-2, and Kolton Otterbacher at 3-3. The competition is very tough for K-4 Mill Valley this year, seeing some of its stronger players move from K-3 to K-6. Mill Valley has done extremely well so far this year, and this second-place trophy is one more for the case!

Good job, Knights!

P.S. The USCF Ratings are being used still for the WSCF events. This is new to 2007, and we continue to seek to understand why this is being done. This is not a huge problem in the scheme of things, and CHESS is the most important thing! The boys are having a really fun year with their friends playing the game of Kings.
