Chess Champ

Cam finished first in the 5th grade division of the Goshen chess tournament today.  He also placed third in the 4th-6th grade section of the tourney.  His two friends, Kayden and J.J., also placed in the top ten.  Thus, Bethany Christian, was well represented as there were over 50 players in their age group.  Doug remarked afterward that he was very impressed with the amount of knowledge that Cam has gained this year in chess.  He realizes that this is a direct result of Cam having a chess coach at Bethany to teach him strategy and provide resources for him as well.  Cam also pushes his other classmates by challenging them to matches.  Chess.com has been a great tool also.  Since Cam is only 10 we have no idea what his interests will be later on, but for now Doug is enjoying being the "nerd chess Dad" that watches every move Cam makes.
