Chess Tournament: April 8

The same day I passed my driving exam, Luca also had an afternoon chess tournament in San Mauro Torinese. By then Jonathan and I were both coming down from our adrenaline rushes from the previous 24 hours and wanted nothing more than a good nap. However, it was our great joy as a family to support Luca in his chess endeavours.

His best friend joined the chess club a few months ago and they had fun playing in the tournament together.

Luca was delighted to receive a participation medal upon registration and valiantly played six games of which he won two. He was up against some tough competitors and took nearly each game to the maximum time limit. We are so proud of him! 

With each experience he grows and learns important life lessons. He continues to be perseverant and motivated with the game of Chess and can't wait for his next opportunity to participate in tournament play as he is determined to one day win a trophy.
