The Los Perales Elementary School chess team took home second place honors at the Berkeley Chess School Elementary School Tournament March 22 at Hillside School in Berkeley. One hundred and fifty-seven students representing 44 schools from all over the Bay Area competed in six games of chess during six hours of play.

Los Perales' six-member team was neck and neck with Marin Elementary throughout the tournament, coming in only one half point behind. In addition, LP fifth-grader, Hari Stoyanov, came in first place overall, the only student to win all six games for a perfect score. Other Lamorinda elementary schools in attendance were Glorietta (which also finished in the top 10), Burton Valley, Del Rey, and Rheem.

The Los Perales chess team is comprised of students involved in the Berkeley Chess School which runs the LP chess after-school enrichment class.
