I am extremely pleased to announce that the prizes for the Free Winter Break Chess Camp have been mailed. Congratulations to all of the winners thank you to the thousand plus students who participated. The best prize is, of course, the knowledge and friendships you gain by participating in the Daily Chess Musings club and camps. However, I believe in rewarding hard work so it is my pleasure to distribute prizes to those students who put forth incredible efforts during the course of our camp. A complete list of the top point earners can be found in the blog section on DailyChessMusings.com. For those who made the list, expect a mall prize in the mail soon. Also be sure to share your prize winning photos and or short videos by sending them to DailyChessMusings@gmail.com. I may even select your photo to share in a future Daily Chess Musing.
