I WAS INTRODUCED TO THE "RED RIVER CHESS CLUB" IN WICHITA FALLS, TEXAS

Written by Claudia

This evening Mr. Omar Montemayor, who is the chess contact person for the Wichita Falls I.S.D. invited me to play in the RED RIVER CHESS CLUB at Book-A-Million at Sikes Center Mall. I truly appreciate the heart felt welcome everyone gave me.

Following introductions, Mr. Montemayor and I played a long game, which I won by one pawn. I really appreciate the welcome everyone has given me.

MY FIRST WEEK IN MY NEW SCHOOL IN WICHITA FALLS, TEXAS

SAYING HI TO OUR READERS

As our readers know, I relocated to the Wichita Falls, Texas area after having lived in the U.S. borderland for several years. Actually, I was born here in Wichita Falls and even when I wasn't living here, I still maintained close ties with my family here.

This last week I began attending City View, my new school. It's real cool! I liked both my math and social studies class. Now that I am close to Dallas, I will be playing at the Dallas Chess Club in the next few weeks. I will be focusing on chess rating and elevating my game since I have only played about 14-USCF rated tournaments.

I will keep everyone posted!

FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL FOR CLAUDIA AND FAITH IN WICHITA FALLS, TEXAS

Claudia and Faith

After several months of planning, our two beautiful daughters entered City View Elementary and Junior High in Wichita Falls, Texas. After several years of living in the borderland region, they are back in their hometown. Once Claudia gets situated, in February she will be playing three tournaments per month at the Dallas Chess Club. In January, she has regionals, which is her only chess commitment for the month.

We wish our two daughters the best in this new move!

CLAUDIA HAS RELOCATED FROM THE U.S.- MEXICO BORDER TO WICHITA FALLS, TEXAS

Claudia has relocated back to Wichita Falls, Texas after leaving her hometown in 2003. My wife and two daughters will be living there while I continue to operate our business in the borderland. My wife will be working as an accountant and our two daughters will be attending a regular school after being home schooled for two and a half years.

This move is for several reasons, but one of the primary objectives is for Claudia, at age 12, to develop her chess strength. She could not accomplish this anymore in the borderland. She is very focused on this relocation and her spirits are high because after all - she loves chess.
