The World Youth Chess Tournament is now at the halfway point. Two games were played on Monday, and Tuesday is a free day. Many of the families will be taking excursions to Lake Bled and the Postojna Caves along with the capital city of Ljubljana. Others are sticking around and catching up on homework.
There are two former players from Weibel Elementary that are playing in this tournament, 12 year old Kevin Moy and 10 year old Joanna Liu (pictured on the right, along with Boston's U10 player Carissa Yip). After Round 6, Joanna Liu is 4.5 out of 6.0 in the Girls U10 Division, while Kevin Moy is at 3.5 out of 6.0 in the Open U12 Division.
