Thomas and Clare enjoyed playing in a chess tournament with 325 other kids, grades K-8. The divisions were K, 1-2, 3-4 and 5-8. This was Thomas' second year attending the tournament (as a first grader) and Clare's first (as a Kindergartener). Thomas won 2 games, draw 2 games, lost 1 game; the one game he lost was to a kid ranked 800 who is a regular tournament participant/champion. Clare lost her four games (she had a bye for one) but played very well in all of her games against some strong competition.
