Over the years, I have been blessed by the opportunity to coach some of the brightest kids in Northern California. Simply spoken,
smart children play chess, and chess offers a competitive arena to exercise their cerebral talents. I always knew my students had the brains to excel. Every June, it seems that the graduates move on to some of the best colleges in America. Well done mates!
Many hearty congratulations to the High School Class of 2013! Former chess students will matriculate all around the country in the Fall:
Stanford (
Kevin),
UC Berkeley (
Andrew and Ted),
MIT (
Jonathan),
Yale (
Benjamin) and
NYU (
Embert) in the Fall. These young stars not only achieved state and national recognition in chess, but also in math and science. Here is a special shout-out to
Kevin and
Andrew for being recognized as
finalist and
semifinalist (
respectively) in the
Intel Science Talent Search!
The nine main members of the
6-time CalChess K-12 Champion team at
Saratoga High School have all moved on, with four choosing Stanford and four attending UC Berkeley (
plus one guy at Duke).
David and
Jeff have graduated from Berkeley while
Marvin and
Aaron earned their diplomas from Stanford. Aaron will continue at MIT for graduate studies.
Congratulations guys!
