Chess Champions.

The Hoboken Chess Club participated in a chess tournament on Sunday April 6^th , 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-3^rd 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 being awarded to only the top two finishers, two of our groups tied for second place. Both our Newport group and the Mustard Seed School won second place.

Our results in the rated section were even better!

With 5 players from the Cordero School in Jersey City , courtesy of our Newport group, their scores were even more astonishing.
