Although the Austin Kids Chess Club U11 team did not win a trophy, the team performed very well with .5 point behind the first overall team.
Other winners included those who gained a lot of rating points: Andrew Lu (+204), Kerem Uslu (+160), Mukund Pasapuleti(+146), Leonard Wang (+137), and Collin Le (+106).
I am really proud of our club members who did not give up and worked as a team. I have seen stronger players providing coaching and game analysis to others, and that is what we want to maintain.
