This weekend, Noverber 21- 22, 2009, the big chess event happen
in Houston, Texas. It was the 13th Annual Texas Grade
Championships. The chess tournament was held at the
George R. Brown Convention Center next to the Hilton Americans.
The chess players came from all over Texas and the Royal Knights
were there to win and bring home the Trophy.
Three of my students came back home with a Trophy.
In the Texas Kindergarten division Dante Guillen took 5th place.
In the Texas 1st Grade division Nathaniel Morales took 2nd place.
In the Texas 5th Grade division Victoria Mortera took 9th place.
Only 10 trophies were awarded in each division. I am so proud
of you.....mighty Royal Knights. You are Winners and Leaders
The Royal Knights is a group of chess students being coached and trained by Ray Martinez. They study the chess games of the Masters, learn and drill endgame skills, practice chess tactics and of course opening theory. Royal Knights Top Boards have won many tournaments. They play in higher sections and "OPEN" tournaments. Royal Knights are Winners and Leaders.
