Chess is starting again !!!!

We bumped into AJ's Chess Coach last weekend at Subway and AJ asked him if he's doing the Chess League again. He was thinking about it, but it's securing a facility that will host it. Well, I got an email Thursday from Coach and it's all ago. AJ is beyond excited over being able to play again this year!! Last year they opened the league to anyone in District 49 School District. After seeing that was such a zoo, he decided to just invite the students from his youngest son's school and the Competitive team from last year back. AJ did REALLY well last fall. Out of 30 kids his starting rank was 20 and at the end he was #3!!!! He worked his little butt off for his place and has a really nice shiny Trophy to show for it. Daddy and I are VERY proud of him. I will be posting ALOT of pictures from the 26th till around February time frame. Coach's main focus is getting the Competitive Team to sharpen there skills and Tournament Prep. We did good a few tournaments last year. Let's keep up the great work kids!!!!
