2001 National Scholastic Chess Foundation (NSCF) Grand Prix Results
This was from a really formative part of my childhood; I learned so much during this time. Since this web article is so old, I just wanted to copy it over here to Medium in case it gets deleted so there’s at least a record that this happened. This was when I won the National Scholastic Chess Foundation’s season-long Grand Prix ‘race’ in the “Reserve” division in 2001 (after I got bumped up from the “Elementary” division in 2000). This was a big deal to me at the time because I repeated as the Grand Prix champion, even after I was bumped up to a harder division with kids who were older than me, who had more schooling under their belts. Plus, I had just switched to Resurrection Grammar School, so there was all the normal new school/new friends transition anxieties, and a lot was going on.
