Local kids do well at chess tournament
CRAFTSBURY — Two Addison County children placed in the Vermont State Scholastic Chess Tournament March 24 in Craftsbury. Asa McCallum of Weybridge placed first in the 2nd-grade division, with four wins and a draw. Jack Simpson of Middlebury placed second in the 4th-grade division, with four wins and a loss.
Both boys frequent the Ilsley Library Chess Club, which is open to everyone and meets on Fridays at 3:30 p.m. during the school year. In the final weeks leading up to the tournament, they practiced together, often at Haymaker Bun Co. McCallum credits Simpson with being his “kid coach.”
