CalChess Scholastics - Junior High

Any of the top six players appears to have at least a 10% chance each of winning the state title. Within that elite group, it will come down to daily performance and luck. I teach three of the top four--and the one whom I don't teach (Isaac) lives in my city! Good luck to all! May the best young man win.
