Kara joined her school's Chess team... she's been going to tournaments. This past Thursday was at the Jr High closest to our house (although it's not the one she attends). I decided to go and watch her play.
She is new to the game of Chess, and like most things she feels a lot more confident than maybe she ought to be. She has a hard time being patient enough to think through her moves, so in tournament play she rushes and has not had much success.
However, this tournament was a little different. It was the first tournament after she had been working with her Russian Chess champion coach, Nikolai. I helped remind her of some of the strategies she was taught by Nikolai. She came away with her first win in a tournament! :) Her smiling face says how excited she was to finally win in a tournament setting!
