I would like to first thank Dr. Siva for trusting ChessForThePeople to organize his JoinToGrow chess club events. He has been very responsive and helpful and can’t find a much nicer person. I also want to thank my son Jacob, for not only doing his hired responsibility to be floor TD but doing all backroom WinTD process.
Libertyville Sports Complex has been a remarkable partner in this entire project and bring their expertise, astonishing facility and wonderful location to what will be a nice tournament facility in Northwest Suburbs. Obviously, you can’t have a chess tournament without players. So, a big thanks to all kids and their parents making environment fun!! One more thanks are for parents that were willing to be a house player to ensure all kids were able to play all four games.
We had three sections. Primary (K-2), Elementary (3-5) and Middle School (6-8). There were players from 12 different cities. Antioch, Arlington Heights, Buffalo Grove, Elgin, Lake Bluff, Lake Villa, Mount Prospect, Mundelein, Prospect Heights, Schaumburg, Spring Grove and Waukegan.

Due to only three players we ended tournament after three rounds. While fourth round was being played three kids plays a round robin blitz tournament. What a great idea and another huge success!!!
