My son played in a chess tournament during a class. He did NOT know it was one. They did not have a sub for his next class and his algerbra2 teacher said for him to stay and play chess with her next class.
Well he has always been gifted in chess...taught himself to play at 5 on the computer.
He won the schools tournament and then the next day they had the systems tournament at his school ..teacher talked him into playing again. Not sure how cuz he thinks chess is for geeks.
He won the systems and he is to represent the school system in April at the National Jr High chess championship.
HE DONT want to go.
HELPPPPPPPPPPPPPP
I have even tried to explain to him that grils really like geeks in high school and college cuz they KNOW geeks make lots of money after college. Nope no go.
There is NO cost since his teacher entered him without my permission she said she will pay all cost and she is going to be a chaperon. I trust her fully.
Please this would be a awsome experience for him. If he places in the top 15 he gets an automatic entry the next year to the High school championship, which they give scholarship money.
Here is my NON geek :wink:
