Elk Grove Village Library Kids Chess Tournament
Every Child has their Own Game Face.
This is from the Scholastic Chess Tournament CheckMates Chess Academy held in Elk Grove Village Illinois at the Elk Grove Village Public Library. This is a kids events sponsored by CheckMates Chess Academy and Youth Services at Elk Grove Village Library. Kids between the ages of 5 and 12 came to the library for this kids event to play in a chess tournament. CheckMates Chess Academy also ran kids chess classes at the Elk Grove Village Library for three weeks prior teaching chess to two groups of kids (beginners and players that already knew the game of chess) different chess techniques and preparing them for the chess tournament.
CheckMates Chess Academy hosted a free kids chess tournament at the Elk Grove Village Public Library on Wednesday August 3rd, 2011! Around 40 kids of all different ages ( grades K-6th) showed up to compete in this fun filled kid’s event.
Chess Players were split up into two groups: a beginners division and an open division. Hannah won First Place in the Beginners Division and Ksivij won First Place in the Open Division. All the children that participated earned a prize because their showed excellent sportsmanship and all tried their hardest. Everyone left the day happy and we look forward to coming back to Elk Grove Village Library for more Kids Chess Classes in Late October!
