HARMONY CHESS EXTRAVAGANZA WITH GM SUSAN POLGAR

Harmony Science Academy has organized a very exciting chess tournament on May 29-30. Our distinguished guest was Grand Master Susan Polgar, 4 time Women’s World Champion, 5 time Olympic Gold medalist. We have organized 3 different competitions in the tournament, USCF rated open, non-rated and Simultenous. Laredo Chess Club helped us to run the tournament.

There were $300 cash prize for the rated open tournament. We have given out many gift cards, Schlitterbahn season tickets and event t-shirts. We would like to thank Laredo Chess Club, Mr. Wright, Mr. Valadez, Mr. Santos, Mrs. Peterson, Mrs. Valero, Mrs. Valadez for their hard work throughout the tournament.

Also we would like to thank our main sponsor, Tokyo Garden (Del Mar) and other sponsors to make this event happened for the first time for its kind. We believe that our students learned a lot about chess and got a lot of inspiration to advance in chess. We would like to organize Harmony Chess Extravaganza again next year.
