WEIBEL CHESS TEAMS CONTINUE THEIR WINNING STREAK

The Susan Polgar Foundation brought their National Open Chess Championships for Boys and Girls to Livermore this weekend, May 6-7, 2017.  This tournament was not required for our team players.  A of Weibel players attended anyway and proved their mettle.  Our players won the U 10 Girls, U 10 Boys, U 12 Girls and U 12 Boys Championships. KUDOS!

Divij Pathak, Louis Le, Drake Long,

In the Novice sections Weibel had only three players: Krishank Sardesai ,Vivaan Parhar.  Lokesh RavuriKrishank in the K-2 section tied for second place.

I guess that due to exhaustion after a two day competition and with school the next day most of our players did not stay around for the awards ceremonies.  Most of the Under 10 Boys and parents did hang around for the photographs. The pictures I posted below do not represent the actual team members that competed.
