Thirty six years ago, a star was born. If you miss me, I'm in the blue box below...trying hard to be unique. I think I needed a PR firm to provide me better quotes.

Not bad, but a tough room. Made it to board 2 in round 4.👊

G/3;+2 is still pretty fast

Big shout out to our 2026 Kansas State Scholastic finishers.

Co-Champion, K-8, Oliver Ohly (photo below) (his 2nd state title)
26th place, K-8, Sreyansh Tadepalli.

By the way, Oliver Ohly knocked off an Expert in the last round to secure his place. That's big drama and a positive result. Way to hold the fort.

Also in that section of note is the other Oliver (Rana) who was in our network of tournaments many years ago. Sophie Sun also finished quite well at 5th place who was also taught by our instructors in her formative years.

Sreyansh was one of my more part-time former students. Still finished quite high.

There were 196 participants in this section so put those results above into perspective.

When you set the foundation for students, great things await them in the future. Want to find out more? Give us a call.
