Our French princess Anne-Gail helps kindergarten kids with medals. she was approved NYChessKids director. The tradition in our classes is that older kids help younger ones.
Finaly. Trophies and nice smile. Every child in No Score section gets trophy for the first place and the medal. It must be computer mistake. I don't get it, how do they all get in first place.
We love trophies

2007 National Elementary (K-6) Championships

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!

The K-5 Championship was taken by Robert Perez of Florida with 6.5 out of 7. T.H. Rogers School and Americo Paredes School, both from Texas, tied for the Team Championship.

The K-6 Championship was won by Ryan Moon of Georgia with 6.5 out of 7. Intermediate School 318 and Horace Mann School tied for first place in the Team Championship. Both schools are from New York City as well.

A total of 2,101 players competed in this mammoth tournament!

P.S. 116 CHESS TOURNAMENT—APRIL 15, 2007

The latest P.S. 116 tournament attracted 194 entrants! This is a new record. Even with the no-shows (understandable because of the dreadful weather), 176 players competed in total across the seven sections.



As always, the top four sections (Championship, Open, Reserve, and Primary) are USCF rated, while the other three sections (No Score, Novice 1, and Novice 2) are not.



To view the USCF rating report for the top four sections, please click here.





Thank you all for attending!See you in June.

New York Athletic Club Event
