My 6-year old Skye in her 1st ever OTB tournament. Barely reaching the board, she scored 4.5/9 in the open section. Basically all 9 rounds began with opponents asking her the same question: Do you know how to play chess?

Skye(8) lost to an FM (2200) but I'm so proud of the way she played. He had 19 seconds; she had 3 minutes. She played f4. Had she continued f5, she'd have had+2 advantage. d pawn distracted her & she lost. She'll soon start beating titled players.
