Kinder - 1st division Rules

The Royal Knights came to Porter High School to take home
the TROPHY.  They had done the work: study openings,
endgame drills, and thinking exercises.  Now was the time to
shine ... Royal Knights to move and WIN.  Seven rounds later,
Edinburg's Canterbury Nathaniel Morales had become
the Kinder-1st division Co-Champion. He is the division's top
board and also is part of the top 100 under 7 USCF chess player
list in the USA.

For the past 8 years, a Royal Knight has won the
Regionals championship except last year.

Ray Martinez, coach of the Royal Knights also trains Nicolas Garcia,

and Diego Guillen.  The Kinder- 1st Championship is very special to
me because they are the  future chess masters.
They are our FUTURE....They are AWESOME!!!

Remember Royal Knights are WINNERS and LEADERS.
