State chess tournament

Jasmine started playing chess last fall and has loved it ever since. She is always ready for a game of chess. She is actually teaching Andrew how to win in order for him to start competing this fall. All the practice and tournaments have helped Jasmine improve her overall ranking. I lost track of how many tournaments she has participated in but I do know that she has enjoyed each one. The state tournament was a fun way to really see how good Jasmine was compared to other third graders. Out of 108 third graders competing from all around the state she placed 34th. That is unbelievable considering she just started last fall. We are so proud of her! We love you Jazzy! Here are some pics from different tournaments and of course the state chess competition.
