Players and parents congregated in a Zoom Room, and the games were played simultaneously on the Lichess.org platform. In total, 55 students played 270 games in either a Grade K-1 or Grade 2-3 section. Showing remarkable consistency, each section resulted in an average of 5 matches per player, a 49% win rate for white, 45% for black, and 6% draw, as well as an undefeated top finisher.

Thank you to all who participated!
