Regional School Chess Championship

The last of March was a day filled with things to do, planning for May 5th. However, we were also able to go to "The Blue Hall" inside the Stockholm City Hall - where the Nobel banquet is being held every year - to cheer for Tara's students in the Regional Chess Finals for 4th graders. The English School had two teams in the finals - and they ended up receiving the gold and silver medals! So now both their teams are off to the Swedish Chess Nationals in Västerås, next month.

Another grand view of the Blue Hall, packed with young chess enthusiasts.

Tara and Joakim also toured the City Hall to view the other ball rooms. The pictures below (click to enlarge) are from The Golden Room, where the walls are decorated with 18 million golden mosaic pieces.
