We sent 16 players to the 52nd annual New York State Chess Championship this past weekend in Saratoga Springs, and we had great success and left a big mark on the event!
The kids worked so hard, and stayed focused together like a team, and with such an excellent job done by our parents and coaches, it was a terrific weekend!
Our Elementary Under 1400 team finished in 10th place, represented by:
- Jonas Flores-Zeledon
- Kalsang Nangchung
- Aida Zareie
- Ruby Pearce
- Lata Bhattarai
- Benjamin Brown
- Abyl Dowshen Flores
And our Elementary Under 600 team finished 3rd in the state, represented by:
- Caitlin Adams (4.5/6, 2nd place class prize!)
- Lia Barros
- Miro Lerner
- Marvin Rodriguez
- Jack West
- Miles Dowshen Flores
- Sophie Schechter
- Esmeralda Lopez
- Harrison Leese
I’m really proud and impressed by the group! I think we have a lot to look forward to in Nashville in May at the Elementary Championships!
Updated tournament schedule for upcoming events coming very soon!
