2023 WI State Scholastic Championship results!

Last weekend our club brought 9 players to UW Oshkosh Reeve Union to play in this statewide event that was very well run by the International Academy of Chess.  It was a huge event w/ well over 500 players over 4 sections that lasted for 6 matches over 2 days.

We had a lot of fun and our players represented their schools and our club very well!
