State Chess Tournament

We went to the Illinois State Chess Tournament. It took two days. The tournament was on March 10th and March 11th. The tournament was 7 games with 4 on the 1st and 3 on the second day. I won 5 games in a row and lost the next two following games. My brother (Artem) won 4 games. He won two games on the first day and two games on the second day. Our team got 2nd place for Primary (K-3) in the state of Illinois.

This is a picture of me before the first game . The person's name is Ethan.

In the tournament I got 12th place in the state. My classmate (his name is Dylan) got 18th place (I think.)
