47th Kumbaya Scholastic Chess TournamentThe 47th Kumbaya Tournament had over 130 participants at this event!

Some players included the current 8 and under World Chess Champion -- Awonder Liang and his brothers Adream and Abel.  Participants included "Top Gun" Jonathan Hrach from Highland Park, together with heavy hitters like Jack and Henry Curcio from Park Ridge and Ryan Toepher, of Chicago.  Ryan was the talk of the tournament winning against the 2 top rated players in the tournament.
