Special shout outs to Carlos M, Elliott and Hassan for their first time playing in a tournament, and they all did great!

Congratulations to the follow medal finishers.
Carlos M won 1st in 3rd grade u500.
Isaiah O won 1st in 5th grade u500.

As a team HHA won 1st place in the middle school u500 section and 2nd place in the middle school open section. Thanks to coaches Tavon Carter and Mark Hollak for their chess coaching and support all year. We hope the students enjoyed playing and improving their chess. Keep playing over the summer and see you next school year!
