Jr High Chess Championships at Metcalf Sat. Mar. 10

Jr High Chess Championships at Metcalf Saturday March 10.
Just show up before 8:30 to register with $22 and $5 for lunch for a day of fun playing chess. See you there! We'll be done around 3:00

Test scores were not good. It's harder when the board is fuller and I don't tell you which tactic is in play. Scoring 100 + a very generous 400 pts per problem so a max of 2500 (grandmaster) if you got them all right. Then I calculated your new rating as if you got a draw against that rating.
Highest scores in the class were Miles (1100) and Zach (900).
