Weber Chess Club is going strong this year! We're up to 80 members and counting! The media center is a busy place each Friday morning at 7:45AM, when aspiring chessmasters gather to learn new skills and have fun playing the wonderful game of chess. All Weber students are welcome to come, and no prior knowledge or experience is necessary. We have many players completely new to the game this year, many of whom are picking up skills very quickly. Of course, Weber has earned a reputation for producing some of the best elementary players and teams in the state, and we hope to continue that tradition this year. We will certainly be hard to beat in the statewide elementary chess championship!
Soon we will start planning the 6th Annual Weber Elementary Chess Tournament. This is a big event... in fact, its the largest chess tournament of any kind in the entire state. Stay tuned for that!
Congratulations to all the participants and winners in recent tournaments! We even had two players, Arshaq Saleem and Pranav Krishnamurthy, represent Weber Elementary at 2011 K-12 National Championship in Dallas. Great job! And many thanks to the wonderful parent volunteers and the very supportive Weber staff! Contact traviskraus@gmail.com for more info about Weber Chess Club.
