Details are below!  Contact Allen with any questions you may have- otherwise see you there.  Parents also welcome!!  Be advised- you might not get home until 10pm or so.

This Thursday come to the club and warm up with some Action chess (3 games, one-night event). 

There will be 2 sections (described below).  Registration closes at 6:55 pm; games start at 7:00 pm. 

If you wish to register ahead of time, let TD Allen Becker know (allenbecker@wi.rr.com or 414-807-0269).

MHS, Markowski are G-30 State Champs!

Bay Lane Middle School Takes 5th

MHS takes 1st (RSeghers, RGomoll not pictured)

Who is this kid?

Congratulations to Muskego High School for winning the Action Chess (G-30) state championship this weekend in Madison, and to MHS Junior Jason Markowski for going 4-0 and winning the individual state championship!

Muskego has been specializing in G-30 tournaments for many years, and flexed their muscles a bit at the new G30 Action Chess championship in Madison this weekend.

Markowski paced the group with 4 wins, Evan Seghers had 3.5 to take 2nd overall, and Reid had 3 to take 4th overall.  Adding 2 wins to the cause were also Rachel Gomoll and Fernando Collahuazo.

Bay Lane Middle School stepped up to the very tough K-12 division and won several games, taking home the 5th place prize. Alyssa and David were 2-2, and Adam and Anoushka each added a win to the cause.
and
Also representing Muskego in the tournament was lone wolf Lake Denooner Kyle Jain, who won 3 out of 4 and raised his rating to 1401.
