MSCC year end changes 

Hi All,

Sad to end the year this way, but because of Covid19 concerns, you've seen that all remaining tournaments are cancelled.  In addition, because school is also cancelled for at least the next few weeks, we'll also cancel the last class - April 1st.

Safety first!  For us, and for the more susceptible in our communities.

On a positive note, the online chesskid tournament is set for next Wed the 18th!  Two sections - one for green,white, blue wrist bands and one for red, purple, black.  There is also a shorter practice tournament set for Tuesday.  Watch for email details.

If you have any questions or concerns please reach out to me.

Take care

Coach Dan

March 11 - Pizza Party

Hi All,
 Even though there's a couple more chess classes left, we're having our "End of the Year" Pizza Party on Wed, March 11 at 6:15 pm. Since this is a fundraiser, we ask that everyone only starts out w/2 slices (to make sure there's enough pizza for everyone).  The cost is $5/person & is open to not only the chess players but their families as well.
 If you'd like to being anything, please let me know. We already have a veggie platter, fruit platter, cheese & sausage platter, & brownies covered.
 Bring your appetite!

Elmwood

Elmwood Scholastic Open 

Randy at Elmwood hosted & ran another great tournament this weekend.  The MSCC brought just 6 players to the nearby tournament that had over 125 players - largely in the K3 & K6 unrated sections.  We had a great time!

K3 unrated 

• Calvin was our lone player in K3 and it was his first tournament!  He did a great job and got a couple of draws before he had to leave early.

K6 unrated 

• Reid and Kai played very well in just their 3rd tournaments.  Reid led the way with 4/6 wins, finishing in 12th place and earning his red wrist band!  Kai was right behind w/ 3 wins.

K12 Open section

• We had 3 players but no teams.  Luke led the way with 3/5 points and a 3rd place finish!  Josh and Arnold were close behind with 2.5 and 2 points.
