FOUR new kids in RED division!

As you know, the RED division is for kids who earn 4 points or more in a 6 game tournament, or 3.5 in a 5 game tournament.  This level is for players who have proven themselves in a tournament setting.  This is the level where a child moves to our advanced training segment under Matt Schladweiler.

Congratulations to our new members of the RED division!

• Aaron Gibbs - 4 wins
• Nick Schuster - 4 wins
• Isaac Terrence - 4 wins
• Brian Mark (previously had earned exemption) - 4.5 wins

Way to go, guys!

For our Red Division kids, the next step is black, which you receive when your USCF rating goes over 1300.  A USCF rating shows a lifetime commitment to chess, and a 1300 rating shows that you are a solid, high school level player.
Brian Mark had previously earned his Red division as an exemption, per Mark/Matt's decision, and based on what we felt was his readiness.  He proved us right by getting 4.5 out of a possible 5 in the USCF U800 division!
