Chess Champions.
The Hoboken Chess Club participated in a chess tournament
on Sunday April 6th , 2008 in New York . The tournament was sanctioned by the United States Chess
Federation.
I’m proud to say, the results were great.
With a group of (25) twenty five Hoboken students participating in a room filled
With over 250 participants from New York , our children accomplished what they always have accomplished
in the past,
THEY WON!
In the K-3rd grade section, Mema Khazanov, Ansul
kaware, and Arpan Gupta , medaled for their scores of 2.5 points (out of 4) 2 wins, 1 draw and only one defeat. Yash
tewari with a 1.5 score
However the star of this Section was Jeramiah Narramore. Jeramiah won 3 out of 4 games and placing in the top section.
The true success was our team scores. With Schools
from all over New York City schools competing, and Plaques
