The Chess Tournament – Summer 2015 Story #1

The Chess Tournament 

Once upon a time there was a boy named Cade. He was a chess player so everybody thought he went to a tournament. But the truth was that he never went to a chess tournament. So his dad singed him up for a tournament on Sat. at Dallas for the state finals.

When he went he had to play 5 games. His score was 5/5 which meant he got the best score and won the 1st place trophy in K-3 unrated. (You can think about it like points) His dad was very proud of him he signed him for the national.

When they went to the nationals he wasn’t unrated he had a lot of rating points. He had 378 rating points. He first played a 97 and won. Then he played a 1,364 and lost. Right after he lost his dad shouted and yelled at him just because he lost. Since his dad wasn’t playing the game he never knew how hard that his opponent was.

He said if he lost the next game they were leaving back home. The next game he played a 245 and drew him. His dad was okay because at least he got some rating points. The next game he played a 101 and won.

Then they last game he played a 531 and drew. He changed into better clothes. Then was the award ceremony which was the best part.

He ended up with 3/5 points so he came home with a medal which was okay because he now has 578 which is great. Cade told his dad all about the 1,364 guy and his dad said sorry. Then they went to sleep. Then his dad signed him up for another tournament on April 12 Sunday and he won 9th place in open section because he got 4/5 and lots of other people won 4/5 and won higher opponents.

And the one who won him got 5th and his name was Watson but people call him Winsonminston-jounior because there was this other player named Winstonminston-siniour and he was a world champion in 1789. And that is why people call Winston Winsonminston-jounior and Cade hated him because he was the one who beat him at the nationals and got his rating to 1498. And Cade’s new rating was after a few more tournaments was 1029.

He now also has a 1st, 3rd, 5th, and a 9th place trophy oh and how could I forget his medal.

The End
