Nina & Patrick play White against Katie and Charlotte!

Thank you for inviting me to play at Brentwood School. It was an amazing experience playing against Max, Roxolana and Charlotte. I learnt so much on that wonderful Saturday.

On Sunday was quite different. I guess it was the Saturday matches that really pumped me up and made me try even harder. As that Sunday was my Dad’s birthday, I was really happy to have won my group as a gift for my dad.
