On Friday, March 24th, four Lincoln Elementary Students, Emily Hall, Mason Fromeyer, Braden Fromeyer, and Peyton Young, played in a simul against chess grandmaster Gregory Kaidanov. Then on Saturday, March 25th, the Lincoln Elementary and Dayton Middle/High School traveled to Paul Brown Stadium, home of the Cincinnati Bengals, to participate in the 16th Annual Queen City Classic Chess Tournament. Thirty “Greendevil Knights” in grade levels 2-8 matched their chess prowess with over 800 other students from states as far away as Michigan to the north and Tennessee to the south.
