Congratulations to July 2025 CLAC Tournament Top Players

Congratulations to all the 𝗧𝗢𝗣 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘆𝗲𝗿𝘀 in our 13𝘁𝗵 𝗖𝗟𝗔 𝗢𝗻𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗖𝗵𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗧𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗮𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 this July 2025 - BELOW Bracket! 👏🎉

Every tournament at Chess Learning Academy teaches young players something new about patience, planning, and handling pressure. In the below bracket, players compete against others at a similar level, which keeps matches close and every move meaningful — and turns each round into real chess tournament results.

Congratulations to the Below Bracket Top Players

The below bracket is where foundations are built. Competing against similarly rated players lets a child try out new openings and ideas without facing an overwhelming strength gap. Wins feel earned, and losses stay close enough to learn from.

Reaching the top thirty here is more than a ranking. It shows steady improvement across the rounds, an ability to bounce back after setbacks, and the discipline to finish a full event strong — the kind of progress that defines youth chess development. 👑 1st Place: Sam
