Chess Carnival a Success

Parents and Players had fun at the Chess Carnival last night. 22 players from the team made it, and many parents stayed for the chess and fun. Kids who completed the most puzzles and challenges won huge prizes! (ok, it was just candy but hey... we are on a limited budget!)

We had several "stations" for the kids to go to, including:

• Knight Jumping
• Checkmate in 1 puzzles
• Checkmate with Queen/Rook/Rook, Rook/Rook, and just Rook
• Pawn Wars
• Solid Openings
• Chess Challenge Boards

Mel Sinner, and Reid and Evan Seghers helped to keep things rolling, thanks! It was great to meet the parents, and see how our kids have improved since the beginning of the year. I saw a lot of serious chess last night. Way to go Mill Valley Knights!

Later today: US-M update!
