WSCF - German Immersion School 

The MSCC brought just 3 players to the Milwaukee German Immersion School for a fun day of chess where over 170 scholastic players participated!  It was a well run event and there was a lot of good competition for our players.

K5

• Mia was our only player in this division and she played well, winning 2 out of 5 matches

 K12

Great job to all for coming out & playing, and representing our club well!

 Muskego Melee 2021 Success !!

We had a great tournament on Saturday at Lake Denoon Middle School.  We had very good turnout (82 players), the IAC did a great job running it as always, concessions were great - special thanks to the Kreuser, Riva and Neuman families for the food donations, and to all who helped run the concessions and team room so smoothly the whole day!

Thank you to Lake Denoon for hosting and Paul Dooley - Activities Director for helping!

We had great success with our players too, and for many this was their first tournament!

• Luca, Matteo, Mason, Daniel, Hunter, Chloe, Logan, Sophia and Mia were in this section, and it was the first in-person tournament for all but Logan.
