 WI Scholastic Chess Championship

As is tradition, the MSCC joined the annual chess championship held at UW Oshkosh this past weekend!  It is typically our year-end event,  and even though it was a down year in terms of participation due to spring breaks and other factors we still had a great time!  A total of about 285 players from around the State joined this event that lasted for 5 or 6 rounds (depending on the section) over 2 days.

This event was organized & run by Mike Nietman of the Wisconsin Chess Association, and it ran smoothly as always.

We were only able to bring 3 players this year, but Anthony, Sophia and Mia played very well, and we also had fun hanging out with the McKinley & Whitman players in their team room (thanks Coach Seghers!).

K5

  • Over 6 rounds of G60/90 minute matches, both Sophia and Mia won 3 of the matches.  This was the first year at State for either of them and they did an excellent job!
K8
  • Also over 6 rounds of G60/90 minute matches, Anthony won 5 of the matches and took home the 5th place trophy!
All represented their schools and our club very well, and we're very proud of them!
