Hello, we greatly appreciate Friend coming out to play in first-ever Kid Chess playoffs. Unfortunately, we are unable to extend a championship invite to Friendat this time. Though Friend qualified for the championship, we can only extend invites to the team’s top six players, based on their playoff tournament performance. 

We hope that you understand, and please note that Friend will be considered as an alternate if another player is unable to attend. 

Best, 
The Kid Chess Team
