My student Stefan S. from Desert Sun Academy played in last Saturday’s scholastic tournament in Phoenix, scoring 2 out of 4 games for a 50% score. Outstanding!

Also from Madison Simis was kindergartener Dominic Kroeger who scored .5 point out of 2 games played in his first tournament.
Stefan Schaeffer, 3rd grader fromDesertSunAcademy scored 1.5 points in his first tournament
while Sairishitha (Rishi) Tamma
from Madison Simis and Jacob Wetherell & Everett Smith both from Pinnacle Peak Elementary all played well.
In the upper grades my returning student Joaquin Rosales
played very well scoring 3 out of 4 to capture 15th place while Jordan Black
from Pinnacle Peak Elementary experienced his first tournament.
One of my top chess players Thomas Patton
played for the first time in the Champ section finding out that moving up is tough.
It doesn’t matter where each student placed in the tournament, I’m proud of them all.
