4TH PLACE FOR CLAUDIA MUÑOZ IN A FIELD OF 103 CHESS PLAYER AT THE TEXAS SCHOLASTIC STATE CHESS CHAMPIONSHIP

After winning 6 out of 7 games in the Texas Scholastic State Chess Championship, Claudia came in a 3-way tie for 2nd place, however, in tiebreakers she ended up in 4th place due to her only loss in the 4th round. Needless to say, we are not only happy with her final results but also proud that she was the best placed girl in the final standings.

This second day of competition proved to be inspiring as she ended the day without losing or relinquishing a half-point.

We are also happy to have made new friends and seen once again old friends. Last but not least, we are thanking GM Susan Polgar for mentioning Claudia in her blog after the 7th round. GM Susan Polgar demonstrates her love for Girls Chess by recognizing those girls that perform well. We are honored to have her as a friend. We provide our readers with the link to her blog:
