Check Mate

Hollywood smoked the competition at his first chess tourney of the 2010-11 school year. Obe, the chess instructor, has 36 kids on his team this year, far larger than the other schools teams. 23 of them played at the Four Winds tournament yesterday. Hollywood has been honing his skills and looked at each game with a systematic plan. Far more mature and patient than the last two years when he rushed through and made bad moves because he would get stuck on the defense and end up in stale mate or worse.

So first tourney of the year and he won all 3 of the games!!! Great job little buddy! I love you and I'm so proud!

Chess mania

Hollywood won this round but lost the next two. He still took home a silver medal and the team placed 7th overall! Great job for having only three tourny's under their belts. Great Coaching Mr. Obe!
