The 47th Kumbaya Tournament had over 130 participants at this event!

Some players included the current 8 and under World Chess Champion -- Awonder Liang and his brothers Adream and Abel.  Participants included "Top Gun" Jonathan Hrach from Highland Park, together with heavy hitters like Jack and Henry Curcio from Park Ridge and Ryan Toepher, of Chicago.  Ryan was the talk of the tournament winning against the 2 top rated players in the tournament.

Tournament Crosstables.

Chess-Ed would like to thank the enthusiastic and supportive chess community.  Looking forward to January 21, 2012 and the 48th Kumbaya Tournament where the drumbeat continues.
