Nov 10
Tournament Nov 18 at Metcalf M.S. in Burnsville. Sections for K-3 and 4-6. Special all Girls section if you want to take this once-a-year opportunity.
I've got orders for 6 sets so far, can we get it up to ten and get a bigger discount?
Today we went over the hurdles worksheet and learned about pins.
I had planned to go over the Caro-Kann defense, but we ran out of time - I think the worksheets took too long. Speaking of worksheets, congratulations to Suhaas who had a 14 which was the highest in the class. Tapio, Thomas L, Michael and Gage were not far behind with 12.
For the beginner section, Sawyer, Anvith, and Jackson had 11 points on their worksheet.
