 No chess this week (March 23) - Spring Break 

 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!

 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

• Quinn and Anthony (who played up in division again) were our players in this division.  Both had some tough matches but played well, and both won 3 out of 5 matches, just missing out on trophies based on tie-breakers 

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

 McKinley Elementary School Tournament - WSCF

The MSCC brought 8 players to McKinley Elementary School in Wauwatosa this past Saturday,  This was a WSCF (Wisconsin Scholastic Chess Federation) run event, hosted by the school and Mark Seghers, whom some may remember as the leader of the MSCC for many years.

It was a big event - 136 players - and our group had a lot of fun and took home some trophies!

K6

• Both Hunter & Sophia had 3 wins out of 5 and Mia was right behind with 2 wins in this very competitive section.

K12

• Quinn lead the way with 4.5 out of 5 wins and took a 3rd place trophy!  Josh, Luke and Anthony (kudos to Anthony for playing up to K12!) all had 3 wins and Rishi was close behind.
• This was also a very competitive section, but together the group took home a 2nd place team trophy!  Well done!

 Brookfield East Spartan Open 

The MSCC brought 9 players to Brookfield this past Saturday for a very large event - nearly 150 players!  The tournament was run by the IAC and hosted by Brookfield East.  Our group had a lot of fun, played some great games and took home some trophies!
