The Making of a Master #1730

It Starts with a Heroic Target

I’m typing this a few days after Emerson finished playing in the Texas State Chess Championships.

It was his second year playing in the State Championships. The first year, he played in the JV division a few months after starting to play. It was his second official tournament. He went 7-0 and won the whole thing. (Hah. Awesome. Proud dad!)

This year, he moved up to the elementary “Championship” division where he played against the best 5th and 6th graders in the state. (We homeschool him but he’d be in the 5th grade.)

He started in the fifth spot and ended tied for second—going 3-0-3 with 3 wins, 0 losses and 3 draws. He and the awesome kid who won were the only ones to go undefeated.
