Tournament April 11

If any of you are interested, there will be a chess tournament for children at the Zachary Lane ElementarySchool on April 11. Register on-line at www.schoolchess.org and come at 9:00, or at the door by 8:30 am.
There will be sections for grades K-3, 4-6, 7-9, and 10-12(rated).
You will play 5 rounds and will be done by about 2:pm. Each round, you will play someone else with the same record as yours.
I think Samuel H. and Michael P. will be attending.
