Merry Christmas!
The holiday was certainly pleasant for all of us. The weather here was mild and sunny, not like the many travelers stranded in airports around the country.
At last, Paul got the chess set in the dramatic dragon box from www.ChessRight.com's home page and Santa. He is thrilled and has put it on a prominent display in our den.
"Merry Christmas to everyone from www.ChessRight.com and best wishes for a successful and prosperous New Year 2009!"

Chess Tournament
Chess Association for Arkansas Schools ("CAAS") is a state organization of parents and educators working to develop and improve chess play throughout the schools of Arkansas. The goals of this organization include (1) rewarding study and practice, (2) encouraging critical thinking, and (3) cultivating creative problem solving.
The CAAS held a chess tournament in November. The tournament organizer was Carm Proct of the Wilbur Mills Education CoOp (pictured at right). She has been organizing chess tournaments since 1999. Presently, the Wilbur Mills Education CoOp hosts two chess tournaments per year, with approximately 200 players between the fourth and sixth grades, and about 85 players at the junior high and senior high levels. Both individual and team play is encouraged at these tournaments.
Congratulations from all of us at www.ChessRight.com to Josh Elander of Searcy, AR for his first place win in the 11th - 12th Grade Division, and to the two eighth graders, Patrick McKenzie and Josh Lovitte, for their second and third place trophies in their division.
The senior high regionals will be held in February 2009, and the state finals will be in April. You can learn more about CAAS by visiting their website.
