LA Chess Championship

The LA Winterim Chess Tournament took place today on the LA Campus. After a day of playing chess in Harvard Square, the LA chess players used their knowledge from the past two weeks try to beat each other out for the championship! By the end of the tournament, Min Soo and Steve were the last standing! If you have the news, let us know who won the tournament!
UPDATE: We've heard from Mr. Curran that Min Soo was the champion. Congratulations!

Chess Recieves a Lecture of Strategy and Logic

Today when I checked in at chess, they were amidst an intense chess seminar. The chess group took a break from playing to learn about the strategy and logic of chess from a chess master who came to visit Lawrence Academy. On Wednesday, they plan to go to Boston to play chess in Harvard Square. We expect the intensity to really heat up Thursday when they begin their tournament; we will report back about the chess tournament- stay tuned!

Chess

Students have been enjoying learning and playing the game of chess. It is considered a challenging game for most. Colby Emma has been struggling, he has found himself in last place on the leader board. Today he went 0-5 and is hoping to be more successful in the second half of the day. Other students, like Yeong-Jin Choi are climbing up the leader board. Yeong-Jin is 3-0 today and hopes to keep his win streak alive.
