State Qualifier Tournament

On Saturday, Washington had its biggest state qualifier chess tournament of the year. Elementary students from all over the state attended and played, and I was, naturally, there to learn what I could and report on it. I spent about six hours at the tournament, and saw several kids I knew from Chess4Life. Within' a day or two I am to write a 600-ish word article on the event for publication in the next newsletter. Should be fun!
