Coburn Kids

Gena went to a Chess Camp this summer, she loved it. She came home the first day and proclaimed “Mom, I beat this guy with 4 rooks,” insert maniac laughter. The camp is actually taught by the Troff and Treiman families. The same Kayden Troff who is a brilliant chess player and at such a young age is, I do believe, the top chess player in all the state. You can see how happy she is (and how much she was concentrating) in the photos below:

Concentrating hard on a game

The pink blur is Gena, and they are doing a timed chess tournament here. Those blue boxes on the floor are the clocks they have to hit. They set them across the room so the kids have to run inbetween each move.

This was actually a video and it’s so fun to see all the kids smiles while they are doing this.

Here’s the video so you can see them in action, it cracks me up watching it:

Listening as they play a game.

A fun last pic all the kids did together.
