ROUND 1 OF THE NATIONAL K-12 SCHOLASTIC CHAMPIONSHIP STARTS TODAY AT 1:00 P.M.

It all starts at 1:00 p.m. today! Who are the players to beat in Claudia's 6th grade category? Actually all of them, but if we concentrate on the top 3 ratings it would have to be:

1. Joshua Colas of New York - 2113 rating (picture above)
2. Justus D. Williams of New York - 2097 rating
3. Kyle Shin of California - 2066 rating
As of yesterday, the USCF was reporting 1,204 entries and in Claudia's category 101. If the event were to start at this moment without anymore registrations, she would start in 50th place. The beauty of chess is not where you start but where you finish.
