This year was the first year my son is in the chess club, he is 7, 8 in Jan. He wanted to do it last year, but I missed the do to join. He was excited about it all summer. He plays chess with his dad a lot and me sometimes. But I thought he'd be in beginner being his first year, but I just got the test results back (well, just read the email anyways) from friday's test, he is intermediate. I am so proud and happy for him. *^^*
