Center Grove School Tourney, Spring 2013

On Thursday, the spring 2013 session concluded at Center Grove Elementary School, in the after school enrichment program on chess, coached by me through Enrich and Grow Academy.

Benjamin Trinker won the tournament. The Ehrenberg brothers, Travis and Ezekiel, finished second and third respectively.

All fifteen students received copies of Chess Life for Kids magazine.

"My study of chess was accompanied by a strong attraction to music, and it was probably thanks to this that from childhood I became accustomed to thinking of chess as an art, and have never regarded it as anything else, for all the science and sport involved in it. And, moreover, an art which in some ways is closer to music than it is customary to think. Perhaps chess and music are drawn together by laws of harmony and beauty which are difficult to formulate and difficult to grasp, or perhaps by something else." - Vasily Smyslov
