We didn't get too many pictures of the kids while we were at the State Championships this year in Carlisle, PA. We were too focused on playing and studying chess.
I took 14 kids. Most of them competed
Friday,
Saturday, and
Sunday.
They learned so much. They learned a lot about chess and they also
learned important social skills and life lessons. Some of the new kids
had never been outside of Philadelphia before.
We returned with 11 trophies! This was our best showing to date!
These pictures were taken when we got back to school. Thanks to all of the supporters who helped us get to States this year. Next year the PA State Scholastic Chess Championships will be in my home town of Lancaster, PA and the kids and I have already been studying and setting goals.
