Reminder -  No chess class this week!

 USM Fall Annual    

Our Muskego chess club visited USM Saturday for a tournament run by the IAC, with over 80 players in attendance.  We had a great time and some really good chess was played by our team - everyone had at least 2 wins!

K8 rated 

• Sawyer was our only player in this section.  He took 3 out of 5 and finished 9th, just missing out on the trophies.

K8 non rated 

• Evelyn took 2 out of 5 games and her last win clinched the team trophy!  If there was a prize for long, patient, playing, she would win - in 3 of her matches she was the last one playing!
• Mason took 4 out 5 games, earning his RED wrist band and finishing in 4th place!
• Austin also took 4 out of 5, earning his RED wrist band and finishing in 3rd place!  Amazingly this was Austin's first official tournament with our club!
• The team of Austin, Mason and Evelyn took home the first place team trophy!

K12 rated 

• Luke took 2 out of 4 games, a very solid day
• Quinn took 3-1/2 out of 4 games, drawing to a 1900 rated player in the final round, and took the 2nd place trophy!

All in all, a great day for our club!

 Brookfield East / IAC 

On Saturday the IAC ran a tournament at Brookfield East, the first in-person event of the chess year!

It's still early in the year, but our Muskego club had 5 attend.

K8 non rated 

• Mason took 3 points for a 9th place finish!  And Carter, in his first tournament (!) took 2 points - pretty great for the first time!

K12 rated 

• Always tough competition in this division -  Anthony (Playing up to join the team!) took 1.5, Luke took 3 points for a 7th place finish and Quinn took 3 points for a 6th place finish!  Together they took the 2nd place team trophy!

Great job to all!
