MSCC owns K-12 at USM

Evan, Jason and Fernando = 1st, 2nd, 3rd in K-12

Muskego players flexed their "chess muscles" and did well at University School on Saturday.

In the K-12 division, Muskego High School took first place, and Lake Denoon Middle School took 2nd place. Individually, Evan Seghers took first place, with 4.5 out of a possible 5.0. 2nd place was MHS' Jason Markowski with 4.0, 3rd place was MHS' Fernando Collahuazo (who played a great game against Evan to a draw in the final match), and 4th place went to LDMS' Kyle Jain. Will Schantz finished 10th with a trophy (3.0) and Kolton Otterbacher also had 3.0 and finished 13th.

In the very tough K-6 division, Alyssa Przedwiecki took 18th out of 41 players by going 3.0, and her BLMS teammate Anoushka Prasad also won 3/5 to finish 20th. Several other MSCC players competed and nobody finished with 0 points.

In the equally difficult K-3 division, congratulations to Nate May for winning 3 out of 5 games.

This was a very tough tournament to start the season with, and we congratulate everyone who had the courage to jump into the mix in the tough USCF-rated tournament. We especially praise the kids who took notation and can therefore LEARN from their losses! Chess notation is very important for players who wish to improve their game!

NEXT UP: OUR OWN TOURNAMENT on December 13th at Lake Denoon! We'll have the signup form up today or tomorrow. This tournament will also have UNRATED divisions for beginners (both K-4 and K-8 divisions), as well as the usual USCF-rated K-3, K-6, and K-12.
