Ryan is having a successful run with chess lately. This week was half term break in the UK and today he won 1st place at the Summer Chess Camp. Next week it's back to school, but for the past three days he has been living and breathing chess. His school team also qualified for the UK National Chess Finals in the Under 9 category. They will be one of 8 teams that advanced past all of the qualifying rounds. The competition will be held in early July on the west coast of England near Burnham-on-Sea. Ryan isn't too disappointed that he will miss the last 2-3 days of the school year to compete.
This picture was taken a couple of weekends ago during our only spate of warm weather (hence the shorts). It was at the Mega Chess Finals in Wembley. Ryan carefully records all of the chess moves for himself and his opponent. Then he reviews the match with his coach or Garett later.
