And no, the competitions are not different for girls and boys, but there are not many girls who play, so in order to encourage them, there are extra titles for them. Tina played in a field of about 40 kids and made 7th place all in all, but she was the best girl. A lot of the boys have fathers who play with them regularly, who actually coach them and analyse games with them. Mr. E takes Tina to the chess club once a week but he never plays with her at home. There's no time for extra training because the kids also have dance practice, a normal PE course, and English every week.
