Calob is FAMOUS! Well, sort of ...

Remember a few weeks ago when Calob competed at a local chess tournament? It wasn't his best tournament but he DID end up with 3 points? Here's the LINK to the post. Anyway, a local news station was there, taking lots of footage, for an upcoming story on chess. We don't get the actual channel but it is available online. After viewing the video we saw that Calob made it on a few times (I think maybe 4). These are the approximate times in the video you can see Calob: 0:34, 1:29, 2:11 and 2:49. He's wearing his Tennessee shirt & is shown playing 2 different boys. VERY COOL!!!

Calob truly IS famous!!! That was a great video, and it was exciting to see that Calob was in it several times, and you were even it in the background.

Awesome! I never imagined his tournaments had THAT many kids! That makes his top placements even MORE impressive to me! Way to go, Calob!!!!
