Nathan's Chess Victory

Nathan proudly holds the trophy he won for placing 8th at the Mercer Island Chess Tournament. Of five rounds, one was a win, two were losses, and two were draws. But all except one of his opponents were first graders with more than a year experience in the chess club. His final score was enough to qualify him for the state tournament in April.
