Newbies Improve at Bay Lane

Girls Like Chess Too!

Bay Lane held a great tournament.

Our fourth graders take 3rd in K-6!

Mill Valley brought 14 kids to the tournament at Bay Lane Middle School, 9 of whom who were either in their first or second tournament ever! A great time was had by all, at this well-organized and fun tournament at the home of previous Mill Valley coach Mr. Reese (who is now the coach at Bay Lane).

The Team of Andrew, Griffin, Jack, Elliot, Julia, Cora, Lydia, Ryan, and Tessa (all fourth graders, four of whom are new to chess tournaments) took home the 3rd place trophy for K-6! Special congratulations go to Ryan G. who won 3 games in his first tournament ever- a feat accomplished only twice before - once by Will S. this year (Will couldnt attend this time), and once a few years back by Jorin M., now a player for Lake Denoon Middle School. This a good group of 4th graders who hopefully continue playing next year at LDMS!

Mill Valley also fielded a K-3 team composed entirely of new players (Ben and Nathan couldn't make it this time around). Congratulations to Matthew, Joshua, Georgy, Brandon and Alyssa for playing well. Special congratulations to Matthew and Joshua for taking 3 points, and for Georgy taking 2.5 in his first tournament. 1st graders Brandon took 2 points and Alyssa 1 point, in their 2nd tournaments ever.

Congratulations also to our sister school, Lake Denoon Middle School, who took 1st place in K-6 and U-700 divisions, and 2nd place in K-12.
