Kevin is running his first chess tournament today, and its going well! I came with him to help him with set-up/tear-down and also to run errands (like grabbing lunch for us both). In the downtime (I have lots of it), I've been playing with my computer, catching up on some work stuff, and will read my book later.
Our alma mater was nice enough to provide space to us (2 classrooms - one for the games and one for the checkin/waiting area, etc) at no charge, and he has 13 paid competitors, and one 'house player' so there is an even number of players. They are quite an age range, from kids of 6 to 8 to grown men, and the kids are tough competitors. the girl will represent the US in Brazil for her age group!!
Kevin just judged his first dispute, the fun part of being a Tournament Director.
He's also the sponsor of a new chess club that meets near our house, website here.
It is fun to see him in his element and with people as passionate about chess as he is!
