Thanks for a great group

What a great tournament. I am so proud of everyone. We won both matches decisively. DuVall was 5 to 1 and Whitmore-Bolles 6 to 0 Congrats to everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We will be having chess club practice Thursday and next Tuesday. On March 9th is the City Tournament. Our A and B teams will be competing only. We will leave Snow Elementary around 3:35 and weather permitting walk to TenEyke. This is a big accomplishment. Only 4 teams from our whole elementary school district competes in this tournament. Thanks again for a great group of Chess players.
I hope everyone has a restful and fun Mid Winter Break. Our first match is Tuesday, February 16th. Please make sure your child is wearing their Chess Club shirt or if they do not have one a Snow spirit shirt that day. I am real excited for our members to show their skills. Please have them practice over the break.
Also, all parents are welcome to come and watch us play. We will begin around 4:00 and end about 5:00.
Thanks again for a great group of players
It has been a great practice session this past week. I can not believe that our Tournaments begin a week from this coming Tuesday. Please be sure to have your child practice as much as possible. The more you practice the better you will be come. I will be posting standing for chess club next week. Please remember not everyone can be on the A team but everyone will be get a chance to play. Have a great weekend
The students are playing well and working hard on their strategies for playing chess. I want to thank Ted “Grandpa” for coming and helping us with chess. He is very knowledgeable and we appreciate his great chess playing skills. I also want to thank Kaitlyn’s mom for supplying and helping me clean all the chess pieces and boards. Remember our tournaments are around the corner. Please have your child practice as much as possible. Thank you and have a great weekend.

On February 16th we will verse DuVall; February 23rd is our bye but my team still needs to be here for scrimmages and on March 1st we play against Whitmore-Bolles. Wish us luck and have a great weekend.
I as so happy to hear how most of our members practiced chess over the Winter Break. Way to go Snow Wolves. Thank you to Gracie for bring her Grandma Christmas gift a electronic Chess Board. I am so glad that Kaitlyn’s Grandpa is feeling better and could help us with practice this week. Thanks Grandpa. I received an email over Break and Chess Club Tournaments will be starting around the end of February. I will give you more information when I receive it. Have a great weekend. Practice! Practice!!
Everyone have a wonderful and great Winter Break. Please try and practice chess over the Break. I will see everyone next year.
Our Chess Club shirts are in and I handed them out to the families who purchased them. Thank you for supporting our Chess Club. Your child may proudly wear their Chess Club shirt on practice days but when our tournaments begin I would love to see them be worn at each tournament supporting our Snow School Chess Club. This week we worked on middle moves and many of the advance players are starting to record their moves. I also want to thank Kaitlyn Bell’s grandfather for coming in and helping out. Have a great weekend and see you next Tuesday.
I have turned in our shirt order. This week we are still working on opening moves and middle play such as “Castling” and how to set up a fork or defend a fork. Have a great weekend and don’t forget to practice.
