A couple of weeks ago, the 2007 National Elementary (K-6) Championships concluded in Nashville, Tennessee. As many people know, "the Nationals" are an individual-team event, where everyone plays individually, and children from the same school playing in the same section count as a team. The top four scorers from one school count as a team.Below are a summary of the results in the four Championship sections.
We are happy to report that one of NYChessKids's students, Kadhir Pillai of P.S. 116 (see photo) finished in clear first place in the K-1 Championship, recording a perfect 7-0 score! Congratulations, Kadhir!
The K-1 Team Championship was won by Dalton School from New York a full point ahead of Hunter School, also from New York.
The K-3 Championship section was won by Benjamin Moon of Georgia with 6.5 out of 7. The Team Championshp was won by Horace Mann School of New York, whose head coach was NYChessKids's Saudin Robovic! Congratulations on the tremendous result!
