Another chess Tournament...

Lucius competed in another grade level tournament a few weeks ago. He and two of his other chess club friends showed up to play in the first grade competition.

We sat and listened to all the rules and such for about 20minutes and then the first game started. 

Lucius cane running out after like 3-5 minutes. He said he got a pawn across the board to get a second queen to checkmate the other kid. It happened so fast I almost didn't believe him. I felt bad for the other kid.

In-between chess matches for the tournament Lucius and his friends played each other.

Again playing each other cause they can't seem to get enough chess play at a chess tournament.

And if they weren't playing each other they were playing the computer on our chess apps. Crazy chess loving kids.

Lucius took 3rd place in the first grade level. His friend took 2nd place and all three took home the team trophy. 

They were so excited about winning. 

I'm happy Lucius has friends who love chess as much as he does.
