The annual K-12 Grade Level Nationals are upon us. Unlike the G/60, G/30 and US Junior Chess Congress tournaments, this one is not here in the Bay Area. This one is in Dallas, at the Hilton Anatole, site of last school year's Elementary School Nationals. This is a grade level tournament, with kids from the same grade competing from grades Kindergarten through 12th grade and is one of the big ones that we shoot for.
This year's Grade Level Nationals is being held at an ideal time, the week before Thanksgiving, whereupon school is out the following week. However, only 3 on the Weibel Team are participating - 6th grader Kevin Moy, 4th grader Serafina Show, and Kindergartener (competing for Oliviera Elementary) Maurya Palusa. There are a total of 25 kids from the Northern California area that are participating. There would be more, but a few are competing in the World Youth tournament in Brazil which commences at the same time this weekend.
Hopefully I will be providing timely updates of the Grade Level Nationals throughout the weekend.
