Reid and Jason lead the LDMS Knights at Home
On Saturday, Lake Denoon Middle School hosted our first scholastic chess tournament! With over 130 players in three divisions, it was a great event, drawing very strong players from all over the state! LDMS had 16 players compete in this very challenging USCF rated tournament.
LDMS won 1st place in K-6, and 2nd place in K-12. Great job LDMS Knights! In K-6, Reid Seghers went 5-1 to win the 2nd place trophy, and Jorin McGuire also went 5-1 to win the 4th place trophy. Kolt Otterbacher, Rachel Gomoll, and Josh Bartz went 4-2. Other members of the 1st place K-6 team included Anthony Gajeski, Zeke Baker, Jake Gomoll, Jake Stys, Blake Reeves, David Petak and John Bennett.
In the very tough K-12 Division, Jason Markowski led the way by winning 3 out his 4 games. Jason raised his USCF rating over 200 points, to 963! Evan Seghers had 2.5. Also in the 2nd place K-12 team were Chris Tillson and Brian Schroeder.
Everyone had fun, loved the school, and thought the WSCA did a great job running the event. Thanks to all the parents who helped, especially Glynis Grochowski who did an amazing job of orchestrating things.
NEXT UP: a tournament this Saturday the 23rd at DISCOVERY WORLD! The tournament fee includes a free pass to Discovery World! Details can be found by clicking here, and I will send more information today and tomorrow. As with all tournaments, DO NOT REGISTER ON YOUR OWN- I will register all players- all you have to do is send me an email saying you will attend!

LDMS 6th Graders take Richards' K-8
Five Players, Five TrophiesIn the first time our K-3 national champions, Evan, Reid, Jorin and Chris, have reunited in the same tournament, Lake Denoon Middle School dominated the Richards Elementary K-8 division with another first place team trophy. Jason also played, and the five of them ALL won trophies!
In the K-8 division, the team of Evan, Reid, Chris and Jason easily won the K-8 division. After 5 games, Evan and Reid were both 5-0, Chris was 4.5 - .5, and Jason was 4-1. Since there were no other kids close to them in record (that they had not already played, the WSCF made the unusual decision to pit team members against each other. Evan played Reid on board 1, and Chris played Jason on board 2. I have never seen this before. Evan edged out Reid in the endgame, and Jason beat Chris. Reid lost only to Evan, but mysteriously dropped to 4th place behind a girl he had beaten. Regardless of the odd 6th round pairings, the four K-8 players took 4 of the top 5 trophies in the division.
Jorin was alone in K-5 and went 5-1 to take 3rd place in a large division. Way to go Lake Denoon Knights!
Next week, Lake Denoon hosts its first-ever chess tournament at the school! We are putting together two very strong teams in the K-6 and K-12 divisions. If you have not yet RSVP'ed yet for the tournament, please do! Click here to see details
