Representing Emerson School at the Michigan Junior Chess Championship in Kalamazoo, Eleanor Klinger won four of her five games to finish 3rd overall, and Parini Rao took 2nd in the 3rd Grade Division. Both played beautifully and confidently, despite competing against opponents rated higher than them.
Anvit Rao, and Emerson alum, competed in the High School Championship, even though he is a current 6th grader.
