Among the nearly 200 students, from across Vermont, that gatherer for the 24th Annual Chess Championship were eight students from Grand Isle County. Evan Pidgeon, South Hero, competed in the kingergarten competition. C.C. Hinds, Grand Isle, competed in the first grade. Quinn Pidgeon and Leo Chatkin, both of South Hero, competed in the third grade. Zac Hinds, of Grand Isle, competed in fourth grade. Herbert Dufree, Grand Isle, competed in sixth grade. Jack Clain, South Hero, finished fourth in the 7/8 division and Eli Hinds, of Grand Isle, finished second in the 7/8 division. Eli’s play places him in consideration for a birth at nationals, which is guaranteed to the Vermont middle and high school champions. Fortunately for Eli, he has another year at this level of play.
