MSCC Divide & Conquer weekend!

This weekend proved how busy the chess world can be this time of year!  Our club had players attend St. Dominic's in Brookfield, the high school SMCA finale in Kewaskum, and the WSCF Discovery World tournament in Milwaukee.  In total, 15 players attended and played some really nice matches!

St Dominics 

K8 unrated -  Kai played in just his second tournament and again took 3/5 wins and a 4th place trophy!

K8 rated -  Andy had a great day and went undefeated, winning all 4 matches!  In the process his rating jumped to 900 so he now has his purple wristband - way to go Andy!  And if that wasn't enough, his wins actually gave him a 3rd place team trophy -  I think that's a first!

SMCA finale in Kewaskum

These were the season ending matches for the 9 schools in the division.  We had a tough time getting enough players to these high school tournaments to play consistently, but we saw some good long games (these are G60) on Saturday.  Matthew led the way with 2/2 wins.  Also playing was Will, Aaron, Steven, Arnold & Josh.

Discovery World 

K3 -  Lexi was our loan player in this section and had a great day, taking 4/5 wins!  Somehow with even that many wins, because of the way tie breakers played out, she just missed getting a trophy.

K5 - Reid played in just his 2nd tournament and made a ton of progress, while Lucas led the way with 3/5 wins.

K12 - We had a strong team in this division - Bella lead the way with 3.5/5 wins!  Josh and Luke were close behind, and Anthony, who played up in division this weekend, had 3/5.  The team took home a 3rd place trophy!

Next up - New Berlin Elmwood this Saturday the 29th!
