Member's Only Meeting
Member's Only Meeting
Our players leveled at the first Members Only meeting— learning chess clocks, the touch-move rule, and quad tournament play. Real tournament skills in action!
Even better was the sportsmanship and camaraderie in the room. Courage to compete. Resilience to learn. Confidence growing with every round. We were so proud of them all.
Quad Results
Quad 1 Winner: Truett scored 2/3 in his quad.
Quad 2 Winner: Kenneth scored 3/3 in his quad.
Quad 3 Winner: Three-way tie — Felix, Atticus, and Noble all scored 2/3 in their quad.
Quad 4 Winner: Kekoa won a tie-breaker with Crosby. Both scored 2.5/3 in their quad.
Star of the evening: Addy
She jumped in when we needed one more player and crushed it — even demonstrating how to slow down and manage the clock like a pro. A skill that’s hard to teach but seemed to come natural to her.
We truly hope every player walked out stronger than they walked in.
