Fifth grader, Charlie Bump, is this year’s MMCSD Elementary Chess Club Champion, rising above more than 30 players from grades four, five, and six! 🔥
Coach Provino shared, “His teacher, Mrs. Thompson, said that a goal of his for this school year was to win the annual spring tournament. He worked and played hard this year, competing in all four area tournaments at BOCES against four other local schools. Last year, Charlie was the last fourth grader standing in the tournament and finished third overall, so this year’s victory was extra special.”
Charlie medaled at every competition held from December through March. 🥇 Over the past two months, he won all of his tournament matches to claim the MMCSD Elementary Chess Champion title! 👑
👏 Congratulations, Charlie! We are so proud of your focus, dedication, and love for the game! ♟️💙
