Noah's last year

This was the last year of the Grand Match Gala for Noah.  He played extremely well in his age group, securing first place.  Overall his school also did well, securing the top two.  Noah along with one other students chosen to play for first place on the big board.  They played speed chess and tried their best, but they lost.  What they learned though, was every set back has a come back, so hopefully they will try again next year (but without Noah).  Will Noah appreciate all the things that he learned through Chess Tutors???
