July 6-17 2009, I went to a summer chess academy. It was all day long and included PE classes. We played a lot of dodge ball and other games. I had to bring my lunch and got tired of sandwiches. At the camp, these were the coaches I had: my normal coach IM Nikolay Andrianov, IM Ben Finegold, GM Yuri Shulman, and GM Gregory Kidonov. The last day we got a cool shirt and had a bug house tournament. I gave my new chess set from camp to my little sister.
Me and my little sister who also likes chess, played GM Shulman in a simul one Saturday too. We lost 
but it was fun. Here are our pictures from that.
My dad and I were on TV for the camp too. Our local PBS channel’s news show, Horizon air date of July 15. When I wrote this, this was the link.
