Confident Tillson Takes Reagan

Chris begins match against Sam

Congratulations again to the Knights of Lake Denoon Chess Team, who scored 21.5 points out of a possible 24 to take First Place Team Trophy in the K-6 tournament at Ronald Reagan school Saturday in New Berlin.

With the 8th highest USCF rating in the K-6 field, rapidly-improving Chris Tillson took home the FIRST PLACE individual trophy, winning all 6 of his games including a huge upset against a 1301-rated player from Ronald Reagan. 2nd-seeded Evan took second on tie-breakers, also winning all 6 of his games including an upset against a powerful 1616-rated player from Bay Lane. Reid took 7th by winning 4.5.

Rachel at 4-1, and proud Dad, Dan

A big congratulations to Rachel Gomoll who had a great tournament and JUST MISSED a trophy, taking 11th place out of more than 60 kids, going 4-2! Jason, Brian, Josh also went 4-2, and Brady rounded out the team with a solid 3-3 showing.

Nearing the end of a successful season
