State Chess 2019

They did pretty well! Olin got 2 wins. Christian got 3 wins and I think that means he qualifies for nationals. Last year they both got 2 wins.

Our school ended up placing 25th out of 100 or so schools, and we were the highest placed school from the eastside! Per usual, the first 25 places were all Seattle area schools.

Both boys were unfortunately riddled with allergies this day.


Bubble tea and poke bowls during the break between 2nd and 3rd games. Christian was having a very bad start, as he lost both initial games. He rallied and won the last 3 so he said he had a 'lucky poke bowl'

Gong Gong came to meet us in Seattle and attend the kids' chess tournament! That was fun to have him there to witness the excitement (boredom). hahaha.



Trophies were awarded to those who got 3+. Medals were awarded to everyone who got 2.5 and below.

Fun Sunday morning meet up with Megan at the Miir coffee shop. They sell cool water bottles, in addition to beer and coffee so I ordered this raspberry beer whose proceeds go back to the raspberry farm and you get to keep this cute little stainless steel cup!

Funny stuff. Olin asked me "Mom does dying hurt? I know dying from lava hurts, but does dying from oldness hurt?"

He has also been saying a lot of "oh, come on!". He'll say that when he's slightly not looking forward to something, but kind of in a joking manner. Like I'll say remember Olin you've got soccer practice tonight and he'll say "oh, come on!"

  1. Way to go, boys!!!! If Christian get to play at National level, I would love to go as one of the cheerleaders. Haha.

    Olin definitely asked a very deep question. Good to share with him ab about salvation and eternal life after death.
